Ravi Bopara, an all -rounder of the former England national cricket team, has humiliated the Pakistan National Cricket Team, saying that he is the least threatening rival for the India National Cricket Team.
Ravi Bopara said that India sees Australia, England, South Africa and New Zealand as great threats and Pakistan is kept very low in that list.
India registers 3–0 sweep in Pakistan in Asia Cup 2025
Suryakumar Yadav -led India destroyed the Salman Aga -led Pakistan three times in the recently concluded Asia Cup 2025, which was played in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The Asia Cup at the Pakistan camp was very optimism in the Asia Cup 2025 as he won only T20 Eye-series in the UAE and head coach Mike Hessen was very confident in his team, even labeled Mohammad Nawaz as the best spinner in the world.
However, with the commencement of the tournament, Pakistan got an investigation into a reality as they did not win a match in a wide manner. The men’s batting unit in green also struggles against Mino.
In a group stage match against India, Pakistan suffered a loss of 7-cicat before losing by 6 wickets in Super Four Games. Then, somehow, Salman Aga -led side entered the final against India and changed his mind.
Defending his score of 146 runs, Pakistan was successful in rejecting Abhishek Sharma quickly, but then Tilak Verma came and conquered, run India to win an epic 5-verse. With this, India won its 9th Asia Cup title and took a 3–0 lead in Pakistan.
I do not think India sees Pakistan as a big threat – Ravi Bopara
In a recent conversation, Ravi Bopara said that India does not consider Pakistan a threat and he is always convinced of beating them.
“I don’t think India sees Pakistan as a major threat. They can see England as a major threat. They can see Australia or New Zealand or South Africa. Pakistan will be at the bottom of that list,” Bopara said on the beard before the wicket podcast (through India’s time).
“The rivalry will be at the top of the list, but in terms of the quality of cricket, it is different. I am very sure in India’s dressing room, the thing is something: ‘Let’s not take them very lightly today, let’s make sure that we bury them.” He said, “In Pakistan’s dressing room, it probably likes more: ‘Hey, one of us has to be out one day today and we will win,” he said.
They do not think they are going out – Skill is going to India – Ravi Bopara
Ravi Bopara further said that Pakistan is aware of the fact that they cannot exclude India and mostly depend on some miraculous performances to win over men in blue.
The former player said, “They don’t think they are going out of India.
The former England star also said that some talent is available in Pakistan and is emerging through PSL, but the discipline issue prevents them from reaching new heights.
“It has been going on for a very long, in fact. Very long. But PSL has produced good players. I have seen people like Shaheen Shah Afridi because he first came to the scene for Peshawar Zalmi, and has improved a lot. He has done a lot. Talent, but perhaps it is a disciplinary issue,” he said.
