Team India are looking unstoppable in the ICC World Cup 2023. They have crushed the rival teams in one-sided games so far. South Africa were their strongest challenge, but even they couldn’t handle the brutal assault.
Chasing 327 to win at the Eden Gardens, they were bundled out for 83 runs. None of the batters managed to even touch 20 runs. Ravindra Jadeja took 5 wickets, while Mohammed Shami and Kuldeep Yadav added two scalps each, respectively.
Former Pakistan players Misbah-ul-Haq, Wasim Akram, Shoaib Malik and Moin Khan were asked about the tips to stop Team India.
“They are playing good cricket. It hasn’t happened just in this World Cup. They prepared for it for more than a year and are getting rewards,” Wasim Akram said.
“Other teams will have to improve their mentality while facing India. Indian team has impacted them mentality and they lose fifty percent of the game even before the contest. Take out the fear and then face them. If the Men in Blue are put under pressure, they will struggle. Their main test will be in the semi-finals,” said Misbah-ul-Haq.
“I think Australia can challenge them. Australia are a tough team,” said Shoaib Malik.
Misbah repeated the pressure remark, to which Malik said: “India are the best when it is about coming out of pressure.”
