The iconic rivals, Pakistan and India will be taking on each other at the T20 World Cup in Australia later this month. India’s former batter, Sanjay Bangar shared his views on India’s cricket team. He feels that Rohit Sharma-led side is in a better position heading into the tournament. Bangar also said that Pakistan is way too dependent on Babar and Mohammad Rizwan.
While comparing both teams ahead of the star-studded clash, former India batter Sanjay Bangar, while speaking on Star Sports show, said,
“I feel, in the batting department, it’s clear that Pakistan is over-dependent on their top order like Babar and Rizwan. Whereas the Indian team is not actually dependent on a couple of players. There are four or five match winners and they are in their prime form, so, from a batting perspective I feel the Indian team is in a better position.“
“Team India has had some good games against Pakistan in the Asia Cup and what the Indian team would be weighing up is that it is a more complete team, which is a team that is not dependent on just one or two individuals,“ he said.
Pakistan is currently struggling with its middle order and former players, critics, and fans are suggesting that the team will fail horribly if Babar and Rizwan don’t perform.
