Sourav Ganguly, a former Indian cricketer, shared his critique of Pakistan’s current cricket performance. He remarked that the current Pakistani team seems to lack the competitive spirit displayed by their predecessors.
A Lack of Resilience in Batting
During a conversation on an Indian sports show, Ganguly expressed his surprise at the perceived absence of resilience in Pakistan’s batting performance. He emphasized the notable contrast between the present Pakistani team and the Indian teams he faced during his playing career.
Different Times
Ganguly reminisced, stating, “During our time, Pakistan was a different team; this is not the type of Pakistan team we used to play.”
Challenges Under Pressure
“This team can’t handle the pressure during batting,” he added. With this batting, it would be difficult for Pakistan to recover in this World Cup.”
Ganguly’s comments came in the aftermath of India’s decisive victory over Pakistan in a match held in Ahmedabad, raising questions about Pakistan’s ability to perform under pressure and stage a strong comeback in the ongoing World Cup, particularly after their recent seven-wicket loss to India.
