Karachi, August 25: Pakistan captain Younis Khan says he has a “burning ambition” to set the record straight against India by defeating them in the Champions Trophy beginning in South Africa next month.
Since the ICC launched the 50-overs World Cup in 1975 and other world events, Pakistan has only once defeated India in these events when they won at Birmingham in the 2004 Champions Trophy.
“The fact that we lost twice to India in the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007 and then also in that World Cup match in 2003 in South Africa still hurts,” Younis said.
“India is a very good one-day side but it is my burning ambition to set the record straight against them and defeat them this time in the Champions Trophy in South Africa this time,” he said.
