Indians looked under pressure even before toss: Inzamam on Indo-Pak clash at T20 World Cup

“When
I
saw
Virat
Kohli
and
Babar
Azam
at
the
toss
it
was
evident
the
Indians
were
under
a
lot
of
pressure,”
Inzamam
said
on
a
Pakistani
news
channel.

The
former
batsman
even
used
the
word
“scared”
while
noting
that
India
were
under
pressure
even
before
Shaheen
Shah
Afridi
had
dismissed
Rohit
Sharma
and
KL
Rahul.

“They
came
into
the
match
under
a
lot
of
pressure
and
that
is
why
they
lost
by
10
wickets.
You
could
see
they
were
apprehensive
by
their
body
language
whereas
the
Pakistan
players
were
much
more
confident
and
upbeat
about
winning
the
match,”
he
added.

It
was
the
first
time
that
Pakistan
beat
India
in
a
World
Cup
match
as
Babar
Azam
and
Muhammad
Rizwan
shared
an
unbroken
opening
stand
to
set
up
the
10-wicket
win.

Inzamam
said
he
was
surprised
to
see
the
Indians
play
the
way
they
did
against
Pakistan
and
against
New
Zealand.

“India
have
a
very
good
T20
squad
and
depth
of
talent.
If
you
look
at
their
performances
in
recent
times
they
were
rightly
favourites
with
England
to
win
the
title.
But
they
didn’t
even
make
the
semi-finals
because
the
way
they
played
against
us
and
New
Zealand
is
not
their
style,”
he
said.

He
also
felt
that
the
demoralising
loss
to
Pakistan
in
the
very
first
match
only
added
to
the
woes
of
the
Indian
team
and
it
never
recovered
from
it.

“I
think
the
match
with
Pakistan
put
too
much
pressure
on
them.
I
don’t
know
because
they
have
always
done
well
against
us
in
World
Cup
matches.”

Inzamam
also
felt
that
the
win
over
India
had
given
a
big
boost
to
the
Pakistan
team
and
cricket
as
the
players
were
now
more
confident
about
their
abilities.
