Pakistan legend Waqar Younis, on Monday, claimed India is superior to his former team because Virat Kohli’s men intimidate their arch-rival.
Sarfaraz Ahmed’s side was no match India, which cruised to an 89-run win via the DLS method in Sunday’s World Cup clash in Manchester.
Waqar believes Pakistan struggled to cope with the pressure put on it by India, which excel at team-play while his country relies too much on individuals.
“In the last few years, there’s been a massive difference between India and Pakistan — and again it showed at Old Trafford on Sunday,” Waqar said.
Teamwork
“Pakistan is still trying to rely on talent alone, while with India it’s all about teamwork.
“They all know their roles, and they execute them superbly. We had good sides in the 1990s, but now I think this India team intimidates Pakistan.”
Waqar sad, “India has very classy batsmen, let’s not forget.
“They wait for the bad ball, and didn’t have to do much against the Pakistan attack given the inconsistency in the length.”
Amir was good
“Mohammad Amir was the only one who created a bit of pressure by bowling a good length,” the cricketer-turned-commentator said.
Waqar said Pakistan has “no real pace” except for Wahab Riaz and suggested the inclusion of promising teenage quick Mohammad Hasnain might boost the team.
