While speaking on the Nadir Ali podcast, Rana Naved was asked if he would have been able to dismiss either Kohli or Babar during his peak time in playing days. In reply to that, the former Pakistan pacer claimed that he would have dismissed Kohli. During that, he also claimed that the current Pakistan skipper is more technically solid than the former Team India skipper and that is why, he fails very rarely. However, on 15 October 2023, both these teams will clash with each other in the upcoming ODI World Cup at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.

Regarding that, Naved came up with another bold claim that Muslims in India have always supported a lot Pakistan. He said: "India is the favourite if there is any match in India. Muslims of India support Pakistan instead of India when Pakistan's match takes place in India." However, the first two matches of the World Cup for Pakistan will be played in Hyderabad. Even, they will play two practice matches in that same venue. Speaking about Rana Naved’s career, he played 87 matches for the Men in Green across all three formats. In those games, he took 133 wickets, at an economy of 5.12. Against India, in 18 matches he managed to take 35 wickets, at an economy of 5.40.
