Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan stated that there’s a lot of expectation from current T20 World Cup squad to bring back the cup.
Pathan added that Virat Kohli team knows the level of expectation from them and they can handle it very
“I think nobody expected anything from the 2007 team, but there are a lot of expectations from the current World Cup squad. The new team has expectations and experience. When we entered the 2007 T20 World Cup, we hardly had the experience of playing in the T20 format,” said Pathan on the Class of 2007 show on Star Sports.
“But now, things are different, people play IPL, they play a lot of T20 games and there are a lot of conversations around T20 format. In 2007, there was no social media, but now there is social media, so there are a lot of conversations around performances and memes. I think the boys know that there are a lot of expectations from them and they know how to handle it,” added Pathan, who was the player of the match in the final against Pakistan in 2007.
India will lock horns with Pakistan in their first T20 World Cup 2021 game on October 24. The inaugural champions have never done that well in the tournament after their inaugural feat.
