Before the start of Asia Cup 2025, former Indian cricket legend and BJP leader Kedar Jadhav gave his comment on the India-Pakistan match. The Asia Cup is going to start from 9 September in which the India vs Pakistan match will be played on 14 September. There is a lot of discussion about this match in the cricket world.
Actually, this match is being criticized so much because of the Pahalgam attack, where a few months ago Pakistani terrorists entered India and brutally killed tourists in Pahalgam, Kashmir, after which the relations between the two countries have become tense. And in the World Championship of Legends League held last month, former Indian players refused to play against Pakistan champions.
Kedar Jadhav’s statement on India-Pakistan match
Kedar Jadhav said, according to Cricket 365 – “I think the Indian team should not play at all, as far as India is concerned, I think wherever India plays, it will always win but this match should not be played at all and they will not play. I can say with confidence that Operation Sindoor is a hit and it is successful.”
Let us tell you that not only Kedar Jadhav, but almost all the former veteran Indian players are against this match after the Pahalgam attack. Harbhajan Singh, Shikhar Dhawan are the main names in this.
Harbhajan’s opinion on India-Pakistan match
Harbhajan recently gave an interview to Times of India and said that “They need to understand what is important and what is not. It is that simple. For me, the soldier who is standing at the border, whose family often does not get to see him, who sometimes sacrifices his life and never returns home, his sacrifice is very big for all of us Indians. In comparison, this India vs Pakistan match is a very small thing that we cannot even stop playing a cricket match. It is a very small thing.”
