Pakistan cricket faces turmoil after a crushing 61-run defeat by India in the T20 World Cup. Criticism has erupted, with figures like Shahid Afridi and Shoaib Akhtar blaming senior players, notably Babar Azam, for the loss.
In Colombo's high-stakes encounter, Pakistan's key players faltered. Pacers Shaheen Shah Afridi and Shadab Khan underperformed, as young Indian opener Ishan Kishan dismantled the bowling attack. Babar Azam's performance was particularly underwhelming, falling for just five runs against Axar Patel.
Former cricketers are now advocating for change and the nurturing of younger players to reinvigorate the squad. The defeat has left the cricket community and fans dejected, spurring heated discussions about strategy, player roles, and leadership.
