Ahead of another blockbuster clash between India and Pakistan in the ongoing 2022 Asia Cup, former Indian cricketer Wasim Jaffer shared a hilarious post on Instagram.

India favorites against arch-rivals Pakistan
Rohit Sharma and Co. head into the Super 4 with a perfect record. They are at the top of the table with two wins in two matches. On the other hand, the Men in Green are in second position after a 155-run victory against minnows Hong Kong.
Hardik Pandya (unbeaten 33 and 3/25) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (4/26) played pivotal roles as India won by five wickets against arch-rivals in their last encounter at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday (August 28). All eyes will be on the top three – KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma and in-form Virat Kohli.
The Men in Blue will undergo a forced change in the form of injured Ravindra Jadeja. Standby player Axar Patel has replaced the Saurashtra allrounder.
Meanwhile, Babar Azam and Co. are unlikely to make any changes from their last match against Hong Kong, with injured pacer Shahnawaz Dahani ruled out from the crunch match.
Skipper Babar will look to score big after making nine each against India and Hong Kong in Group A matches. Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman are expected to play big knocks while the middle order batters will look to take center stage against India.
The bowling unit will look to continue their decent performances without star players like Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Wasim.
We are officially in the #GreatestRivalry season... yet again!
