Time’s up for Shaheen, Babar, and Shadab, Pakistan’s T20 squad needs new performers, not empty wins against weaker sides #T20worldcup

When you don’t get good quality home grown products you import. Pakistan must now import batters.☺️

One-sided contest, as has becone the pattern of India-Pak contests in the past couple of decades. Result adequately reflects not just difference in talent between the teams but, I dare say, also the state of cricket in the two countries

One sided rivalry 😂

Now I believe that the one Pakistan win in the 1-8 scoreline against India was also a fluke. Honestly.

“I think the wicket wasn’t that easy in the beginning. You just have to believe and focus on your strength. Wanted to make them run as much as possible to my side. I worked a lot on my off-side play. I was just trying to keep it simple. I had that in mind that we need to put 160-170 runs and it will be a good total for us. India v Pakistan is always a special game not only for us but for our country as well. Winning this game against Pakistan will give us a lot of confidence and we will look to keep the momentum going. When Shaheen was bowling I didn’t feel like the ball was doing much for the pacers but how Bumrah and Hardik bowled in those two overs was incredible,” Kishan said after the match.

Covering sports for fun. Cricket in whites remains the first love—the kind that teaches patience, rewards nuance, and tells stories over five days rather than five seconds.
