Ahead of the highly anticipated India Pakistan ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 match, Team India skipper Virat Kohli addressed media in a ceremonial pre match press briefing.

Contrary to normal expectations, Virat Kohli didn’t said much the presser and even downplayed his awaited clash against Pakistan premier pacer Mohammad Amir.

“I am not going to say anything for TRPs,” Kohli said in the pre-match presser in Manchester.

“You have to respect any bowler’s strength. You should have faith in your ability to score against any bowler. I just focus on the white ball or the red ball, regardless of the bowler. There are 10 other players to impact the game,” the India captain said.

The last time India played Pakistan in an ICC tournament was in the final of the 2017 Champions Trophy when Amir wiped out the mighty Indian top order comprising Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma and Kohli inside the first nine overs. India went on to lose the match by 180 runs.

While Amir’s form took a dip since then, he seems to have returned to his destructive best in the ongoing World Cup, recording his best ever ODI figures of 5/30 in Pakistan’s previous game against Australia.

The match at the Old Trafford in Manchester is scheduled to begin at 10.30 a.m. local time (3 p.m. IST).
