New Delhi: India vs Pakistan has always been a high-octane clash with both teams at loggerheads against each other. The story does not change in the ‘B’ teams of both teams. In a recent video going viral on social media, Haris explained that there is always pressure on the side when they take on arch-rivals India and the decision was taken to not exert any extra pressure on the cricketers.
The video which went viral showed Mohammad Haris, Pakistan A’s captain commenting:
Aapko ek baat batau. Pehli dafa hoga ke iss dressing room mei Bharat par baat karne pe pabandi hai…
Humare Dressing Room Mein India Par Baat Karne Pe Pabandi Hai;

Talking about the Indian challenge, Mohammad Haris remarked that the team is preparing for every other team normally like India. The Pakistani skipper understands the Indian challenge creates an ulterior pressure on the boys. Naturally, treating that specific game as a normal game against any other team will help calm the nerves of the entire team and the dressing room staff.
