India and Pakistan are scheduled to face each other for the second time in the tournament after both teams progressed to the Super Fours. The group stage match between the two sides sparked a lot of drama due to the Men in Blue\u2019s decision not to shake hands with their neighbours.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Yadav was again questioned about the handshake snub, but the 35-year-old handled the situation well and gave fitting responses.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
When a member of the media asked, \u201cIn the last match against Pakistan, apart from the bat, India did well in the remaining aspects as well. In the next match, can we expect India to do the same as in the previous game,\u201d referring to the Men in Blue\u2019s handshake snub, the skipper had a witty response as he said:<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cOh, you mean good performance with the ball? Yes, definitely. There's a good combination of performance with both bat and ball. It feels so good when a stadium is jam-packed and you get support from such a big crowd. We just want to put our best foot forward for the country and do our best in the game.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Mumbai Indians batter, when asked about the rivalry between the two sides, spoke: \u201cI don\u2019t know what rivalry you are talking about. When I go to the ground, I see a packed stadium, and when I see that, I tell my team, \u2018Chalo bhai log, entertainment ka time aa gaya hai\u2019\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Speaking of his ways of shutting off the outside noise ahead of crucial encounters, the Mumbai-born said: \u201cClose your room, switch off your phone and sleep. That is the best thing. It is easy to say, but sometimes it is difficult, because you meet a lot of friends, you go out for dinner, and you also have a lot of players around who like to see all these things. It is challenging, but it is up to you what you want to listen to and what you want to have on your mind. Going forward, we will have to shut out a lot of noise from outside. I have made that clear to the boys.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t give us an edge that we have played them [Pakistan] once and had a good game. We will have to start from scratch. The country always supports us in every game. In this game, too, keep supporting us,\u201d Yadav noted.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
