India and Pakistan will resume their rivalry on the cricket field soon when they lock horns in the much-awaited India vs Pakistan clash of the upcoming Asia Cup. Asia Cup 2022 is scheduled to begin on Saturday (August 27) and on Sunday, the mouthwatering clash between the arch-rivals is scheduled to take place. India and Pakistan are placed in Group A along with the qualifier.

On the other hand, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Bangladesh are in Group B. Sri Lanka and Afghanistan will be up against each other in the first game of the tournament. The upcoming India vs Pakistan clash will be the first clash of the ongoing year between the two arch-rivals. They had last played against each other in the 2021 T20 World Cup.

Mohammad Rizwan’s special preparation for India vs Pakistan clash:

Pakistan had registered a thumping 10-wicket win over India in the last India vs Pakistan clash. And one of the biggest architects of that win was none other than their wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan. Opening the innings with skipper Babar Azam, Rizwan had launched a stunning assault against the Indian bowlers and had powered his country to their first-ever win over India in the World Cup.

He remained unbeaten on 79 as Pakistan chased down 152 without losing any wicket. Rizwan was up against the likes of Mohammed Shami, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah but did not face much of a problem as he played a stunning knock. And it looks like, the right-handed batsman is eyeing yet another good performance with the bat against the arch-rivals.

Ahead of the much-anticipated India vs Pakistan clash, Rizwan was seen doing a special training in the nets. In order to tackle the Indian pacers, he was seen practicing by placing a slab in front of him.

Here is a clip of Mohammad Rizwan’s training:
