In the aftermath of the World Cup group match in Ahmedabad on Saturday, the captain of Pakistan’s cricket team, Babar Azam, has come forward to acknowledge his team’s lackluster performance, particularly against arch-rivals India.
During the post-match presentation, Babar Azam candidly admitted, “We did not play good cricket against India, leading to our defeat. We couldn’t cope with the sudden failure of the middle order.” He highlighted the team’s struggle to establish a substantial target, citing missed opportunities and the impeccable bowling by Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
Expressing disappointment over the bowling performance, Babar Azam emphasized the need for early breakthroughs and recognized the exceptional innings played by India’s Rohit Sharma.
The defeat handed to Pakistan by India marked a significant setback for the team, prompting Babar Azam to take responsibility for the team’s underwhelming performance on the international stage.
