After the crushing defeat against India in the T20 World Cup 2026, former Pakistan captain Azam has once again come under criticism. In this important match played in Colombo, Babar’s bat remained completely silent and he returned to the pavilion after scoring only 5 runs. After his performance, India’s experienced spinner R Ashwin has openly raised questions on his batting technique.
Ashwin believes that a player playing at the international level should identify his weakness and work on it, but till now no significant change has been seen in Babar’s game. He said in gestures that Babar is continuously repeating the same mistakes, due to which the team is suffering losses in big matches. Even in the match against India, he could not read the straight ball of Akshar Patel and got bowled while trying to play a big shot.
Wrong game plan became the reason for Pakistan’s defeat
At the same time, former Pakistan captain Waqar Younis has also raised questions on the team’s strategy. He believes that Pakistan had lost this match in the first innings itself, when India made a strong score of 175 runs.
According to Younis, Pakistan’s bowlers were getting spin from the pitch, but the team did not use it properly. On the other hand, Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav made excellent use of the bowlers. He handed the new ball to Hardik Pandya, while Jasprit Bumrah maintained constant pressure on the Pakistani batsmen with his precise line-length.
Ishan Kishan’s innings changed the match
Ishan Kishan’s stormy innings of 77 runs in 40 balls proved to be important in India’s victory. Thanks to his strong performance, India has secured its place in the Super-8 by registering its third consecutive win.
On the other hand, the path ahead is not easy for Pakistan. To keep alive their hopes of reaching the Super-8, they will have to defeat Namibia at all costs in their last group match. If the team misses here, then the danger of being out of the tournament will loom.
