WHAT THE CAPTAIN SAYS 

"We are going to play World Cup and not just going to play against India only. There are eight other teams, and it's not only India, and only if we beat them then we will make it into the final. We are not focused on only one team, we are focused on all other teams in the tournament."

-- Babar Azam plays down the hype of facing India
