The Pakistan’s cricket team chief, Ramiz Raja, calls his team as underdogs, whenever they played against a billion-dollar team, Team India. Ramix Raja also highlighted all the games between India Vs. Pakistan are more of a mentally pressured game than physical.
While speaking to the news group, “The Dawn” opined that previously the Pakistan team were considered as underdogs in the world cup matches, but he again added saying, now things have changed. Team India have started respecting Pakistan more seriously, praising the Babar led side having an edge over a “billion-dollar team”
Well, look at some stats,
- Until last October (2021), Team India was undefeated against Pakistan with seven in the ODI and five in the T20I format, so in total 12 wins.
- However, if we speak of the last 12 months, Pakistan team has won twice in the T20 world last year and made a tie in the Asia Cup 2022, by winning 1 match each.
Look at what Ramiz Raja, spoke in his urdu, but don’t worry we’ll be translating it for you in English.
Skill aur talent se zyada mental match hota hain yeh. So agar aap temperamentally strong he and mentally focussed he aur haar manne ko taiyar nahi hain toh chhoti team bhi badi team ko hara sakti hain. And Pakistan humesha se underdogs rahein hain jab bhi India se muqabla huye hain, but of late, unhone hume respect dena shuru kardiya hain kyunki unke khayal me yeh hain ki Pakistan hume kabhi hara hi nehi sakte. So yehi main kehta hu ki Pakistan ko credit dijiye kyunki ek billion-dollar team cricket industry ko hum harate he. Main toh khud World Cups khela hu, humlog toh India ko nehi hara paate the. Iss team ko credit dena chaiye kyunki limited resources, compared to India, se prepare karte he and tagda muqabla karte hain,
Ramiz Raja
Meaning,
It is more a mental match than skill and talent. So, if you were strong by nature and focused mentally that he is not ready to give up and then even the small team has the power to beat the big team. And Pakistan has always been the underdog whenever we have faced India, but recently, they have started to give us respect because they think that Pakistan can never beat us. So, this I say give credit to Pakistan why we beat a billion dollar team cricket industry. I myself have played the World Cup; we could not beat India. Credit should be given to this team as compared to India because of limited resources, we prepare and fight hard,
Ramiz Raja
The point is, why so much explanation and comparison? Primarily because, Pakistan looks at India as the best and beating the best are always the things to remember, even though it’s 1 or 2 matches.
