Ind-Pak game a challenge
Retired great Sachin
Tendulkar has said World Cup game against Pakistan could pose a challenge to
the Indian team that is bigger than even playing in the final. Tendulkar told
the Headlines Today news channel that the pressure of playing rival Pakistan is
always heightened, and said the 2011 World Cup semifinal between them was
"a high pressure game compared to the final" against Sri Lanka. India
starts its defense of the World Cup against Pakistan at Adelaide. It will be
the first time that India will be without Tendulkar for a World Cup game against
Pakistan. Tendulkar, who retired in 2013, figured in six World Cups and is the
most prolific batsman in the tournament's history with 2,278 runs in 45
matches.
