Jadeja didnt get out playing a shot, even pandya was decieved by a slower one. None of the batters were out slogging against shaheen tbf.

 

Bumrah was clearly not struggling against him. lol 

[Need4Speed]

I havent seen the match..but why cant Indian TM get Mukesh Chaudhary in the nets to bowl with new bowl…he is not 145k but swings ball well with 140k that is good enough to oractice…

or simply just put one left hander at top..

[Need4Speed]

At such high pace when Afridi swings the ball at top its not easy for anyone…even Irfan Pathan used to cause trouble at 135k..

Even Mitchell Starc gets very difficult when he swings it..

any left arm bowler above 145 with such movement and control..many would struggle..unless you somehow break their rythm..

Rohit Sharma has issues with any left armer who can bring the ball in.

This is a technical deficiency.

Last few days leading up to the asia cup, many sports news channels were hyping this Vada Pav by showing visuals of him practicising against the left arm trundler Aniket Chaudry in the nets.  And trying to prove that he is working extremely hard in the nets so as to be ready to counter Shaheen.

Indian fans don't even think about Kuldeep cleaning up Babar twice in that 2018-19 period when he made him look like a club level tail ender but these cockroaches do nanga naach when their bowlers do it. Happened with Junaid khan vs Kohli, Amir vs Rohit and now with SSA. 

 

Inferiority complex is strong with these cockroaches.

You do realize that Babar was nearly a debutant at that point. It’s been 6 years since and I doubt Kuldeep will worry Babar too much. Babar averages 95 against leg spin, which is the second highest in history after Sachin. And this wicket didn’t have much for spinners, so Kuldeep escaped a phainta

 

I was worried about Siraj and Siraj only. He was the only threat in your bowling department in those conditions. Genuine pacer and very underrated!!
 

Bumrah was returning after injury while Babar, Imam, Cachu Fakhar and Rizwan would have been licking their lips on Shardul, Jadeja and Pandya. 

[BlueBlood]

Rohit Sharma, Gill and KL Rahul are sitting ducks against Left arm pace and tall hit the deck bowlers.

 

Boult, Starc and even Madushanka from SL troubled them but still 4 years and no improvement.

 

Its pathetic and you have Rohit worshippers like Maniac etc. here calling him greatest LOI opener LOL

 

 

[Tenduism]

That Mofo  Vikrant Gupta is  simping so much on Pakistan attack on Sportstak.  H is now unbearable.

[waga]

it's not mental its hard to play a left arm quick swinging it in. And he has a white ball technique where he plans his font foot and doesn't get it anywhere near outside the line so he's extra vulnerable to it

yeah but being able to hit through the line when its not doing much and hit every bad ball is enough to score a lot of runs, its the entire basis of englands batting lineup and they have 1 technically proficient player in the team and go alright

Pandya bounced your Overrated Hajam, Shezwan & less we talk about Iftikhar the better. Your batting line up is over rated and over hyped. Pak fans are delusional after winning series against Afghanistan and a match against Nepal. 

 

Not to long ago England C and Australia pummelled your team and overrated batting line-up.

Pandya has destroyed your fisaddi team many time in world event….. your dabur hazam and parchi inams ate owned by bowlers like Arshdeep and VijayShankar. In addition most of your batters are walking wkt against any short balls. Lol your dabur hazam has got out on short balls even on Pakistani phatta. This babr hazam is most soft batter in history of world cricket who bullied all lower rank b or c teams even whatever runs he has against eng aus are against their D team in both batting and bowling.

It seems that some Indians (not all) have chosen to dwell in the past or ignore the painful reality that India is no longer the dominant force as it was. Whether it's in batting or bowling, the gap between the two teams has significantly diminished.

Confronting this reality can lead to a better understanding and eventually a more positive outlook.
 

Here are some bitter facts: Pakistani cricket team currently holds the top position in ODIs, with three of the top four ICC-ranked batters being Pakistani players. Pakistan didn’t make the ranking. 

 

While Pakistan did face a loss against England's C side, it has consistently performed well against other teams. For example, Pakistan achieved a 2-1 victory against Australia, successfully chasing down 220 runs in 38 overs in the finals. They also triumphed against South Africa on South African soil. Both of those sides beat you in your own backyard. 
 

Cricket is unpredictable, and every team experiences occasional losses. Therefore, respecting the achievements of other teams and maintaining a positive attitude is crucial to avoid negative consequences. Additionally, India has also faced losses against unexpected opponents, such as the West Indies and Bangladesh.

Yes it was a good surprise plan. In the very next game though, Pandya was pummeled for 44 runs in his 4 over spell after the 135 kph bouncer novelty was gone. 

 

The quality of a pacers like Siraj would have been a challenge. 
 

But I am sorry to tell you this but Pak batting likely couldn’t wait to enjoy gentle loving pace of Thakur and Pandya as well as the spinners because it had nothing in the pitch for them. Only genuine spinners in the world are playing for the other team whose name ends with “Istan”. 
 

Bumrah was returning from injury so its unclear what he brings to the table now. but he’s a solid pacer on his day although he tends to wither away in big stages.

Paandya clocks more than 140 and he also gets swings….also he is the most experience on bowling that Ahmedabad patta thats where he learned to play cricket. If anything Pandya has improved his bowling and against Pakistan his performance is always top notch also he is hit the deck bowler who relies bounce and short bowling. Pakistani batters are bad against short bowling and most of Indian bowlers are hit the deck. Lol at pakistan has best spinner did you forget thrashing in last game…. Dabur hazam is perennial bunny against kuldeep also he is worst player against left arm spin and short bowls. So more than Siraj it will be Pandya and Kuldeep who would trouble him on Ahmedabad patta.

Its pakistani who dwell in past and always remember only 2 games in past 10-15 years ct17 final and wt21 , so its reach coming from a pakistan. Lol at no 1 team you guys are still loosing home series on uour soil not long ago you lost a match against zim on home soil. SL has blanked you with their B team in t20 series. SA against which your team won had most their playing ipl at that time and they played players who i font even know. I am not saying Indian team is great, if anything India is at worst and pakistani are at its best but still we thrashed you in 19 wc and 23 t20 wc with our ghatiya team, i would say its best opportunity for pakistani to break the streak aginst India in wc, if not once we will phase out our old sanile non performers after wc you will not get such opportunities in near future.

There are 30 pacers in Pakistan who can bowl a few deliveries in a spell that touch 140, as Pandya does. He did have success couple of times against pak a few years ago, but law of averages will catch up with him as he’s a good pacer but nothing special or extraordinary. I am not sure if you’ve been living under a rock, but recently Babar coached Rabada and Nortje in their own backyard, and milked around Boult, Southee, Ferguson, Cummins and Starc. He has no issues whatsoever against pace and bounce. His chink in the armor is against left arm spin in red ball cricket. Express pace from Wood troubled him in 1-2 games. And he doesn’t  pick Rashid Khan’s googly. 
 

 

As for Kuldeep, it’s true Kuldeep is a good bowler and he got Babar twice in 2018 and 2019, but its been 4 years since, and the gulf has widened since then. 

Babar is the no1 ODI batter in the world by a country mile, averages 96 vs leg spin since 2020, and he was duly awarded the prestigious ICC cricketer of the year award. Meantime Kuldeep was addressing his action to grab his place again and has made a good return. Let’s see…hmm

Nearly a debutant... 

 

 

Pak fans were already comparing him to Kohli and Sachin by that time lol. 2019 wasn't six years ago, you spud. The fact that you're comparing leg spin and Kuldeep (who's a chinaman) says a lot about your understanding of the game..

 

Straight to the gutter

Heh? When did we lose to South Africa at home? Don't get desperate now. 

 

And the Australian team you beat was not even even third string lol. We lost to a team that had Warner, Smith, Maxwell, Starc etc..while you beat a team that had none of these.. amazing how pawkees are the first to downplay any Indian win (like the BGT win in 2018-19 because of no Warner and Smith) but ignore their team beating even weaker sides.

The guy above mentioned 2018, which is 6 years ago my friend. I know the time flies! 
 

Chinamen are left handed LEG spinners. You make it sound as if Kuldeep is the best thing since bread. You do know Kuldeep wasn’t even Indian first choice for much of the time since. He’s good bowler but nothing special. Law of averages will catch up.
