Arch-rivals India and Pakistan were on Friday placed in the same group for the T20 World Cup as the International Cricket Council announced the pools for its flagship event, set to be played in the UAE and Oman from October 17 to November 14.
A clash between India and Pakistan is always a high-intensity game and the men in blue have a stellar record in the global men’s events.
India and Pakistan are placed in Group 2 along with World Test Championship winners New Zealand and Afghanistan.
Former India opener Gautam Gambhir, who has been part of many India-Pakistan games in his career, said senior players such as skipper Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will play a big role in the marquee clash.
