India vs Pakistan World Cup 2023 match has been rescheduled and will now be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium on 14th October 2023. The highly anticipated game will involve a few stars of the cricketing world who will put everything on the line to beat their arch-rivals. Recently, India defeated Pakistan in T20 World Cup 2022 on the back of a Virat Kohli masterclass. However, the 50 Over World Cup 2023 match is going to be a lengthy affair in which a single person’s performance cannot get the job done. Here we have covered the five-player battle that will decide the outcome of the India vs Pakistan clash.
1- Rohit Sharma vs Shaheen Shah Afridi
Shaheen Shah Afridi has always troubled Rohit Sharma with his left-arm inswingers. The Indian captain will need to face the Pakistani pacer head-on in the World Cup 2023 match. Whoever wins this battle will give their team a fair chance to win the game.
2- Babar Azam vs Jasprit Bumrah
Jasprit Bumrah has recovered from a back injury and is all set to play in the World Cup 2023. The ace Indian pacer will go against the Pakistani captain to decide the fate of the match. Certainly, a battle to watch out for.

3- Virat Kohli vs Shaheen Shah Afridi
Virat Kohli has a history of being troubled by the left-arm pacers. Shaheen Shah Afridi is back to his 100% and will definitely pose a great challenge against the Indian batter on 14th October 2023.
4- Virat Kohli vs Haris Rauf
Kohli smashed Rauf for consecutive sixes in the 19th over of the T20 World Cup 2022 match between India and Pakistan to lead the Indian team to glory. However, Rauf will try to seek revenge in the World Cup 2023 match, which will turn the encounter between Kohli and Rauf into an interesting one.
5- Fakhar Zaman vs Mohammed Siraj
In Bumrah’s absence, Mohammed Siraj emerged as the backbone of the Indian bowling line-up. On the other hand, Fakhar Zaman will lead the charge for Pakistan. The two attacking cricketers will collide at the front to give their team an edge in the match.
