Shahid Afridi, the former-captain of Pakistan national team made a remark on the Pakistan’s Cricket team recently.
He says, “India has more match-winners than Pakistan”. Does this statement by Afridi covertly intents to point out, Indian cricket team is better than the Pakistan team?
He also added,”For a long time, we have been giving opportunities to players, but no one has stepped up consistently. Some have performed in a few games, but we don’t have players who have sustained their performance for a year, or across 50-60 matches.”Prior to the big India Vs Pakistan match which is going to happen in the group stage of the Champions Trophy in Dubai on Sunday, Shahid Afridi made a claim which upsetted the Pakistani fans. Afridi made this remark in a special show on JioHotstar which was build to create a build-up to the upcoming India Vs Pakistan match. According to Afridi, the current pakistan team is looking to defend its Champions Trophy but they don’t have any player who knows how to win a game.

“If we talk about match-winners, I’d say that India has more match-winners compared to Pakistan. A match-winner is someone who knows how to win the game single-handedly. Right now, we don’t have such players in Pakistan,”Shahid added.
The former-cricketer also mentioned Mohammad Rizwan’s captaincy by saying, “As a captain, Rizwan has to set an example for others — that is very important. He must perform in every game, and his attitude, body language, and leadership matter a lot. Being a captain comes with equal amounts of praise and criticism. His performance will be crucial, as he is the glue that holds the team together. He treats everyone equally, he is a fighter, and his energy on the field is infectious. I have seen him step up in big matches, and I am confident he will lead the team well.”
