We need these kind of players in the team instead of meek KL Rahuls and Gills.

 

Temperament and "never say die" attitude over talent everytime! That's why likes of Kishan, Tilak, Pandya, Abhishek are needed in the team. Not softies like KL Rahul or Gill jinki "gotiyaan muh mein aa gayi"

IMO drop Kuldeep and play Sundar ahead of him. Kuldeep is mentally fragile, cracks under pressure, poor fielder, can't hold the bat, drops sitters and has attitude as if he's Viv Richards incarnate.

 

We need specialist bowlers who're like Bumrah or Varun C. Rest need to be able to bat or field. No Sirajs od Kuldeeps. Better to play Sundar, Parag, Vipraj etc.

Just to balance things out, here is a post from a Pakistani on reddit

 

You know , Shoaib Akhtar never lets you forget that one yorker to Dravid or the time he bowled Sachin. He repeats it like a badge of honor, as if one delivery defined an era. But that’s the essence of Pakistan cricket — obsessed with moments, while ignoring the full picture. Sachin and Dravid, the supposed victims, never bragged about one ball. They spoke through 20,000 runs, centuries in Adelaide, match-saving marathons in Kolkata, and years of consistency. Shoaib remembers a flash. Sachin and Dravid built legacies.

And that’s the contrast between Pakistan and India. Pakistan will forever romanticize Sharjah sixes, Wasim’s reverse swing, Waqar’s yorkers, or that one Champions Trophy final. They did have golden eras — Imran lifting 1992, the Wasim-Waqar-Shoaib storm in the 90s. But greatness is not a lightning strike; it is a lighthouse. And India has been that lighthouse. World Cups? India leads Pakistan 8-0. T20 World Cups? India dominates. Asia Cups? India leads. ICC trophies? India has more in the cabinet, with multiple finals appearances. Pakistan clings to 1992 and 2017 like family heirlooms; India keeps adding fresh chapters every decade.

Look globally and the gap widens. Pakistan’s record in Australia, England, and South Africa is littered with collapses and inconsistency. India, brick by brick, turned weaknesses into strengths: winning in Australia twice, leading series in England, and creating a talent factory through the IPL. Pakistan’s brilliance was mercurial, often undone by politics and fragility. India’s rise has been systematic, sustainable, and relentless.

So was Pakistan ever “world-beating”? On a given day, yes — a Shoaib yorker at 100 mph, a Wasim spell that bent physics. But those were flashes of lightning. India became the entire sky. Shoaib will always talk about that one ball. India will always point to the scoreboard.

they still keep saying 152-0 while its one match, even if it was 300-0 it will be one game, while that have lost almost all games since then against India. What they lack in talent & ability they replace it with cope.

These videos are nothing compared to the meltdown of 2011 WC SF loss. They actually thought they will beat India and win the WC at that time. There was some postmatch show with Aamir Sohail with some very melancholic background music and you would feel that anchor would cry at any moment..

A very balanced take and one which doesn't just restrict itself to cricket. It's there across all facets of their life. 

Maybe it was losing East Pakistan in 1971. Or the disastrous Ziafication policies which followed.

Looks fake/old. some time back he claimed Ind tempered with the ball and hence getting more swing

Easy to promise the world when knowing it won’t happen.
