IND vs PAK Asia Cup 2025: Ahead of the marquee matchup against traditional rival Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025, India's T20I vice-captain Shubman Gill took time out from his preparations to interact with Hong Kong cricketers.

Hong Kong's batters had a batting disaster in their Asia Cup opener against Afghanistan at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. Chasing a target of 189 runs, Hong Kong could only manage 94/9 in their 20 overs.

While Hong Kong cricketers were preparing for their upcoming clash against Sri Lanka, they had a chance to meet the Indian contingent, who will face Pakistan in a Group A contest on Sunday.

“Let the body take over. The more you think, the more it will affect. You must think as little as possible. You have heard about people being in the zone, right? What is the zone? You reach the zone when you think less, the ball is coming to you and you just react," Gill said in a video posted by Hong Kong Cricket.

"Yeah, I think being totally honest, I would say India do start favourites tomorrow. We will be focused on the 120 balls with the bat and the 120 balls with the ball and the team that is more consistent over those 240 balls will be better," Ten Doeschate told mediapersons on the eve of Sunday's India-Pakistan clash.

"So we are under no illusion as to the task ahead and a big part of what we try to do in looking forward is to stay grounded and just focus on getting better, individuals getting better every day," he added.
