Harbhajan Singh and Shahid Afridi Reflect on Pakistan Cricket’s Downfall
In a recent discussion ahead of the much-anticipated ICC Champions Trophy clash between India and Pakistan, former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh expressed his disappointment over the current state of Pakistan cricket. Harbhajan noted the striking difference between the present team and the formidable squads of the past, particularly those before 2011-12.
“**Haven’t seen such a Pakistan team in years,**” Harbhajan remarked. He emphasized the lack of unity within the current squad, stating that while there are individual players capable of winning matches, the cohesiveness that once defined Pakistan cricket is absent. “A team should have 7-8 players who can win you the championship, but I don’t see that in this team,” he added.
Shahid Afridi, another legend of the game, echoed Harbhajan’s sentiments. He pointed out that the current Pakistan team lacks the match-winners that characterized their successful teams of the past. “You can win a match, but to lift the trophy, you need consistent match-winners,” Afridi stated, highlighting the importance of mindset against top teams.
As both teams prepare to battle in Dubai, the contrast in their form is evident. Pakistan recently suffered a 60-run defeat against New Zealand, while India secured a six-wicket victory over Bangladesh. This leaves Pakistan in a precarious position, needing to perform exceptionally in their remaining matches to advance in the tournament.
