We had a lot of hopes from our team that they will play well. We thought that they would reach a score of at least 315, but they did not even reach 250. Even if we lost, they should have at least stopped Kohli's century. If they could not bat well, they could have saved the match by bowling properly. I request the PCB to give a chance to new faces so that our team may improve...,

Akhtar said in an emotional video that he posted on his X account The captain is the leader of the ship. How will the team succeed if he doesn't know which match-winners he needs? Pakistani players looked completely out of the game when India reached the 15th or 18th over in their chase. Fans leaving early is something I have never seen before. This is unfortunate,
As far as the match is concerned, you are disappointed. Because when you lose, you have a difficult day, difficult things come up, and questions come up. But if you look at it all, you can't say there was a mistake in any department, except if you look at the bowling of Abrar, which was the most positive in this match. We have not made any mistakes. All three departments have made mistakes. That's why we are losing the match,

he said at the post-match press conference I am amazed at the hardwork he puts in. The whole world was saying he was out of form but coming into such a big game, he scored runs effortlessly. His fitness and work ethic is indeed praiseworthy. We tried our best to get him out but we could not,
Yeah absolutely. I think the way we started with the ball was just superb. To restrict them to that kind of a score was a brilliant effort from us.

Iyer told reporters in the post-match press conference It's a challenge and there's a lot of pressure externally as well. It was a lot of fun. It was my third game in Pakistan,
he added but did not elaborate what exactly he meant by external pressure As far as I know, both Rohit and Shami are fine. There is no injury concern to them,
It's spinner friendly and the way they have been bowling consistently over a period of time, I think the amalgamation of all three bowlers mixing up quite well, also the experience that they possess. I think that brings a lot of clarity in their bowling,
