Pakistan will need to do a lot because this is a very skilled Indian team with a powerful bowling line-up and two good spinners,&#8221; Misbah said on &#8216;Star Sports Press Room&#8217; on Wednesday.<br \/>&#8220;India has quality fast bowlers in (Jasprit) Bumrah, (Mohammed) Siraj and Hardik (Pandya). The Indian cricket team&#8217;s quality has risen many folds. It will be difficult to break, mental attitude matters a lot and Australia handles the mental side the best way.<br \/>&#8220;There is no pressure of excess baggage with Australia, and it needs to be seen how both India and Pakistan handle that pressure.&#8221;<br \/>Misbah highlighted that <!-- -->Virat Kohli<!-- -->, known for his memorable performances against Pakistan, remains a significant threat for their team in the upcoming T20 World Cup.<br \/>Despite ongoing discussions regarding Kohli&#8217;s strike rate during the current IPL season, Misbah emphasised the former Indian captain&#8217;s ability to influence matches with his batting prowess.<br \/>&#8220;Kohli is going to be a big factor. He has damaged Pakistan many times. He enjoys supremacy over Pakistan mentally. He takes motivation from big occasions and not pressure,&#8221; he said.<br \/>&#8220;The Virat Kohli effect will definitely be there. He is a top-class cricketer. He is one player who can win you matches, strike rates don&#8217;t matter. Good players take motivation from those voices or criticism.&#8221;<br \/>Misbah-ul-Haq still vividly recalls the ill-fated scoop shot he attempted in the inaugural T20 World Cup final against India in 2007.<br \/>With Pakistan requiring only six runs to secure victory from the last four balls, Misbah&#8217;s decision to execute the scoop over fine leg proved fatal as S Sreesanth took the catch. Pakistan subsequently fell short, crumbling to 152 while chasing a target of 157, ultimately handing India the coveted trophy.<br \/>But Misbah said that tournament was responsible for the rapid growth of <!-- -->T20 cricket<!-- -->.<br \/>&#8220;In the 2007 T20 World Cup, all teams were not so serious. India handed captaincy to a young (Mahendra Singh) Dhoni. But the final between India and Pakistan, the greatest rivalry in the history of cricket. The hype that T20 got after that World Cup is immense.<br \/>&#8220;The way T20 cricket flourished, I feel whatever we achieved and the current players are now plying their trade in different leagues and IPL is something great,&#8221;
