Pakistanis love their tea and cricket; both of which are taken very seriously. There are chai dhabas in every alley possible. Similarly, cricket is played in every community garden or gali by kids and adults. Cricket for most Pakistanis is their life, believe it or not; people of all ages watch, talk and breathe cricket. It’s not even an exaggeration.

The most-awaited of all matches is that against our enemy-neighbor India. We have an unfavorable history together and the shared cricket grounds with the Indian team is not just sport for Pakistanis but in fact a battleground. A war-zone that isn’t gory and bloody and has no life to lose but has pride of every Pakistani on the line.

ICC Cricket World Cup is a great deal for every country that plays cricket but for Pakistanis, out of all the matches, the one against India matters the most for obvious reasons.
The PakVsIndia Matches Are So Important, That Even The Prime Minister Imran Khan Couldn’t Stay Idle And Had Valuable Advises To Share With Sarfaraz Ahmed And The Team.
Imran Khan doesn’t require an introduction in the cricketing realm. His captaincy is recognized around the world. He possesses the experience and knowledge that cannot be overlooked. But it was ignored by the current captain of the Pakistani cricket team.

Here’s What Imran Khan Had To Say To Team Green:
These tweets are followed by the ones where Imran talks about mental pressure that both teams will experience considering how big it is for both the countries. He continued saying that the “power of the mind will decide the outcome of the match today.”
3/5 All fears of losing should be banished from the mind as the mind can only process one thought at a time. Fear of losing leads to a negative & defensive strategy & crucially mistakes by opponents are not pounced upon. So here are my suggestions for Sarfaraz & Pakistan team:

Imran Khan just called out some players “Raillu Kattas”. Who did he specifically say that too? We do not know. He did however clearly indicated that some of the members of the team are “farigh” and will not be able to handle the pressure.
He also advised Sarfraz to bat first, which he didn’t and that one decision definitely cost us the entire match.
4/5 1. In order ro have a winning offensive strategy Sarfaraz must go in with specialist batsmen and bowlers because "Raillu Kattas" rarely perform under pressure – especially the intense kind that will be generated today. 2. Unless pitch is damp, Sarfaraz must win the toss & bat

Looks like the captain should have taken Imran Khan’s heads up to the team about batting first. He did, after all, play a major role in winning Pakistan the World Cup in 1992. Pakistan’s losing team is facing serious hate from fellow Pakistanis, Sarfaraz in particular, as all there hopes, pride and honor were literally dragged into the dirt.
The Match Is Lost And People Are At Sarfraz’s Throat For Not Listening To The Kaptaan.
Lesson learnt: Never ignore the legend. He’s called a legend for a reason dear Sarfraz !!

Looks like it. How unfortunate!
This tweet reached almost everyone except Sarfaraz.

Paid in full with tears of several hopeful Pakistanis.
Skipper they did not listen to you and the whole Pakistan will pay the price of their wrong decision of bowling first.

Reverse psychology Imran Sahab! Tsk. If only he knew.
You should have said Pakistan should bowl first. Tab Sarfaraz batting karta na. Its a human nature that people do things what others say not to.

Can’t cry on spilled milk now, can we? But this defeat has definitely stung badly. The entire nation was swept into disappointment and anger.
Have any anger to voice? You can do that in the comment section below.
