Former captain Inzamam-Ul-Haq made a bold statement about the Indian cricket team and its performance against Pakistan in the 2021 T20 World Cup. For the first time in history, the blue men’s team lost to their rival in the World Cup. The Pakistan team defeated India with 10 wickets. The first game combination of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan chased 152 wickets, breaking the team’s long-term predicament in the World Cup for nearly three years.

There have been many stories and articles about India’s indifferent outing at the Dubai International Stadium, including Inzamam’s claim that Virat Kohli’s team was frightened even before the start of the World Cup. “I think the Indians were scared even before the game started. Their body language, if you see Virat Kohli and Babar Azam being interviewed during the game, you will feel “who is under pressure.” The body language of our team is much better than theirs. It was not that India was under pressure after Rohit Sharma was fired. Sharma himself was under pressure. Obviously, they are all under pressure,” Inzamam said on ARY.

India had an achromatic T20 World Cup, which was eliminated before reaching the semi-finals. For the first time in eight years, the team failed to enter the knockout stage of an ICC event. After losing to Pakistan and New Zealand, India has been in a downturn. Although they have indeed defeated Afghanistan, Scotland and Namibia in the past three games, they are still not enough to advance to the semi-finals. Inzamam felt the pressure that the Indian team responded so much after Pakistan’s defeat that the team failed to recover from the beating, which affected their T20 World Cup journey.

“The Indian team has never played like they did. They are a good T20 team, there is no doubt about that. If you look at their performance in the past 2-3 years, they are the most popular. But that game The India-Pakistan match added Inzamam that they were under too much pressure and did not look back.

“Their feet didn’t move at all. After losing to Pakistan, they received a lot of criticism and had a 3-4 day break. The poor guys can’t even play Santner and Sodhi. They are good spin players. The pressure is on them. Increase.”
