Currently, Pakistan is in action against New Zealand in the ongoing first of the two-match Test series at the National Stadium in Karachi. Babar Azam’s men recently lost to England by a big margin of 0-3 in the three-match Test series. Notably, the Pakistani team is already out of contention for the final of the World Test championship 2023.
On the other hand, the Indian team under the captaincy of stand-in skipper KL Rahul took on Bangladesh in the two-match Test series and won it with a whitewash of 2-0.
Now, the men in blue will take on Sri Lanka in their next bilateral assignment in white-ball cricket. Hardik Pandya will lead the team in the three-match T20I series against the visitors starting on the 3rd of January 2023.
