Interestingly, if the ODI World Cup is taken into consideration, India have never lost to Pakistan in seven matches since 1992. The same was the case in the T20 World Cup until Pakistan put their best foot forward in T20 World Cup 2021 to beat India for the first time and that too by 10 wickets.'

Pakistan had won that encounter chasing down 316 runs in the last-ball thriller with Inzamam-ul-Haq winning the player of the match award. Sachin Tendulkar scored a stunning 123 for India with 12 fours ands two sixes to his name.
