After yet another game getting washed out, Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli has now set his eyes to meet archrivals Pakistan in the most anticipated game of ICC World Cup 2019 on Sunday at Old Trafford.

"It's an opportunity to create excitement," said Kohli, 30, quoted BBC. "It's a marquee event all over the world." Team India is rising high as they are yet to face a defeat in the tournament after back-to-back wins in their first two games, and the third game against New Zealand getting abandoned without a ball being bowl.

The side is sitting comfortably with five points off three games on the points table. "We're playing some good cricket so we're not too worried about where we stand," said Kohli. "Having two wins gives you that extra confidence.”

Speaking about the India-Pakistan game and the pressure that seeps in during such matches, the Indian skipper hoped to do things professionally against the neighboring rival.

"As soon you as enter the field it's calm and relaxed. The frenzy around it is a bit intimidating for the guys doing it for the first time but for us it's about being professional as always, do the basics right and look to get a result your way," he said.
