At the start of the game, Pakistan looked to be in cruise control; however, India’s relentless attack with the ball saw the Men in Green limited to 146 runs. A score that India chased through Tilak Varma’s knock, winning the clash by five wickets.
After Pakistan’s loss, former cricketer Shoaib Akhtar came forward and slammed the Men in Green for their horrid show against India. He branded the coach as senseless and blamed the management for the performance.
“It is the fault of the management that is not thinking right. Talking about senseless coaching, I would probably say. I probably – I am going to, sorry to say these kinds of harsh words, but it’s senseless coaching,” Akhtar said on Tapmad.
“It was a Super Sunday, and the whole nation was watching, but our middle order is already a problem. You know it, I know it, we all keep saying our top three batsmen in the middle are a problem,” he added.
