00:00 Hello and welcome to the Pavilion.
00:05 You were watching Pakistan's innings live from Ahmedabad.
00:08 It's India vs Pakistan.
00:10 With me in the Pavilion, I'm joined with four former Pakistani captains.
00:14 I've got Shoaib Malik, Miz Bahul Haq, Mohin Khan and Wasim Akram.
00:17 And the situation is that we have a lot of angry fans in Pakistan right now.
00:23 Sad, disappointing maybe, but you know what, we still have another innings to go.
00:28 First of all, let's take a look at the batting.
00:30 India has won the toss and invited Pakistan to bat.
00:33 Here's the batting card.
00:35 Pakistan's scorecard was somewhat like this.
00:38 In the beginning, Abdullah got a start but then lost the wicket.
00:43 Imamul Haq got a start but lost the wicket.
00:46 Babar scored 50 runs and then lost the wicket.
00:50 Rizwan was good for half a century but then lost the wicket.
00:54 Saud Shaqeel was very unsettled and lost the wicket.
00:57 Iftikhar got a bad luck and lost the wicket.
01:01 Shahdaab didn't understand the ball and lost the wicket.
01:06 Nawaz was also in a difficult position.
01:09 And so forth and so forth.
01:10 But a very disappointing scorecard.
01:12 Because he couldn't play even 50 overs.
01:14 But look at that bowling card.
01:15 Indian fans and Team India must be really proud of that and very happy.
01:19 And they should be because that's an outstanding bowling card.
01:23 Especially the fact that Pakistan had a good start at one point.
01:27 We could have scored 300 runs.
01:30 But at 155, two players were out and the third wicket fell at 155.
01:35 And after that, the rest of the team lost 7 wickets in 35 runs.
01:41 Wasim, your thoughts?
01:44 I mean, I think you summed it up nicely.
01:49 The way the batters got the start early on.
01:53 You talked about Abdullah Shafiq and Imamul Haq.
01:56 It was set.
01:57 38 runs, 6 wickets.
01:59 Then you hit the wide.
02:01 You had to read the pitch.
02:04 The pitch was not flawless.
02:08 You had to grind on it.
02:09 You had to know that if one or two wickets fell, the pressure would come back.
02:13 So I thought early on they did well.
02:15 And then the captain played 50 as well.
02:17 Then got out.
02:19 Risky shot.
02:20 Went for a single.
02:21 Reversed swing ball.
02:22 Came in and hit the off stump.
02:23 Rizwan again got out on 49.
02:26 Very good slow ball from Bhoomra.
02:28 And he bowled Shahdaab.
02:30 It was an unplayable delivery.
02:31 So Indian bowling, like you said, they should be proud of their bowlers.
02:35 Everybody chipped in.
02:36 Everyone apart from Shardul Thakur got two wickets.
02:39 I can understand Pakistani people are very disappointed.
02:43 But still, India has to get 91, 92.
02:46 Next cricketer, I know, anything can happen in this game.
02:49 But so far, like I said before the game, India looking good.
02:52 Yeah, India definitely looking good.
02:54 Mishra, what would you say about Pakistan's batting?
02:56 Because we had somewhat of a good start and then a total collapse.
03:01 When there is a pitch like this and there is a pressure match like this,
03:05 it's very, very important for any batter.
03:08 When you get out of the nerves and get a start, then you have to make it big.
03:13 It's not possible that you keep getting out by 20 or 30.
03:17 So the next batsman will also get runs easily.
03:20 Losing wickets on regular intervals,
03:23 Pakistan has completely killed the entire batting line.
03:27 If you do a partnership of 40-50,
03:30 when you take the same partnership of 100, then you are in a commanding position.
03:35 The biggest disappointment is that in the pressure game,
03:39 Pakistan got good start and easy runs from the top.
03:43 There was a situation where we should have controlled that.
03:46 154 for 2 and your two main batters are set.
03:51 If you played a little better from there,
03:54 then at least 300 runs were visible.
03:57 No doubt, after that it was difficult.
03:59 There was a little reverse swing, a little spinners game was stuck.
04:03 But that was a chance where we could have reached at least 280-90.
04:09 But we just kept throwing the wickets and busters.
04:12 This is the ending story we share with you.
04:15 This is our first 10 overs. 49 for 1.
04:21 That was okay actually. 49 for 1 and they negated the new ball beautifully.
04:26 Only one wicket fell and that too was a very silly shot.
04:29 Abdullah Shafiq went from middle to mid-wicket.
04:34 And in the next 10 overs, 54 for 1, 53 for 1 and then the collapse started.
04:40 35 for 5.
04:41 You see, 31-40 was a time frame where both sides' balls were older.
04:49 So when the ball is older and the pitch is slow,
04:52 then you can reduce the horizontal shots and come towards the V.
04:57 Because when the ball is older, it stays low and comes slow.
05:00 So it becomes difficult to play horizontal shots on it.
05:03 In which we lost 5 wickets.
05:05 That was a time when we had to assess the conditions.
05:08 No doubt, you are playing at 50.
05:11 After that, the conditions will change in the 50-100, 70s and 80s.
05:17 So it is very important for you as a batter to assess them and play accordingly.
05:23 It is not necessary that you will get 350 runs in one day cricket.
05:27 No, you will get a situation where the pitch is slow and low,
05:31 which was there in the first innings.
05:33 So you should have done this, that this is not a 350 pitch.
05:36 We will try to get 300 on this.
05:39 Like Miss Baba said, 280-290 will be a target.
05:42 If the pitch plays like this, there is no dew and it plays slow and low,
05:46 then 280-290 is a very good total.
05:50 Mohit, your thoughts?
05:51 I think they have done a good sum-up of the batting.
05:54 But I think there should have been some counter-attack.
05:57 In the partnership where Babar and Rizwan were set,
06:01 there was no attack by the spinners.
06:04 You know, that is very important.
06:06 Because you had to build up the run rate there.
06:09 At that time, both of us fell and then kept falling.
06:13 Shoaib did a very good thing that he was trying to play a lot of horizontal shots.
06:19 On the left side, squarish type, you know,
06:21 and he was gliding towards the third man, where the problem was.
06:25 This was not the pitch.
06:26 First, the bounce was a little less.
06:27 And then when you are playing,
06:29 you are naturally looking at the baller's grip.
06:32 He is holding the seam, he is holding the seam across.
06:35 The ball will be skidded or it can get stuck.
06:37 In that, you have to play a little ahead.
06:39 The footwork of our batsmen,
06:43 was not visible.
06:44 They were playing within the crease, getting stuck.
06:47 This was the reason, because their target was only wickets.
06:50 They were playing in wickets.
06:51 They knew that if anyone missed, they would get a wicket.
06:54 So, this was one thing.
06:55 The other thing I said,
06:56 that the partnership where we should have attacked a little counter,
06:59 our batsmen were completely visible, under pressure.
07:03 So Mohin, you mean that the crease was not used.
07:05 If there is a slow pitch, cross seam,
07:07 so they should have been able to reach ahead.
07:09 It was a little slow pitch, there was no pace, no bounce.
07:13 You stand one or two steps ahead,
07:15 and the other time you stand behind.
07:17 Mohin, one person,
07:19 came out a little and
07:21 Abdullah Shafiq hit the boomerang.
07:23 When the pacers are bowling,
07:24 Midon Midoff is up, till the 40th over.
07:27 When the medium pacers come,
07:28 the captain might have put Midon behind,
07:30 if he is your strong area, the right-hander batter.
07:33 Not a single person tried that.
07:35 Not a single person used the feet of the spinner.
07:37 It seems like if you use the feet,
07:39 the FBR people will send a notice.
07:41 Why do you think this is happening?
07:44 That's the question to be answered.
07:45 I don't understand.
07:46 You recently played, you were there as a coach as well.
07:48 They didn't adapt quickly.
07:50 Rizwan was left with an LBW,
07:52 and Babar was left as well.
07:54 They should have understood that
07:56 there won't be any cross shots here,
07:58 we will target straight.
08:00 They didn't do that unfortunately.
08:02 In fact, when you interviewed Kuldeep
08:04 at the end of the inning,
08:06 Kuldeep Yadav said that he saw that
08:08 the Pakistan batsmen were not trying,
08:10 and Rizwan was not trying at all.
08:11 Kuldeep gave 35 runs in 10 overs,
08:13 and he has taken 2 wickets.
08:15 Shoaib Malik has explained to us that
08:17 a spinner like Kuldeep, who does wicket to wicket,
08:19 and also does googly,
08:21 he does it from the middle,
08:23 he doesn't go out.
08:25 So try to hit it straight,
08:27 mid-on or mid-off.
08:29 The biggest thing is that
08:31 it doesn't have a long turn.
08:33 If it doesn't have a long turn,
08:35 when you go through the line,
08:37 there is less chance of getting beat.
08:39 If you have reached the pitch,
08:41 you are out,
08:43 at least you are sending a strong message.
08:45 You are sending it to your dressing room
08:47 that we are going to take the game on.
08:49 Let's look at the fall of wickets.
08:51 Today, our wickets have fallen.
08:53 It's on your screens right now.
08:55 That's the first one.
08:57 This is what I was talking about.
08:59 This shot should have been played towards the mid-field.
09:01 There was a wide ball.
09:03 You can do it with ease.
09:05 You have to get a risky shot,
09:07 and you have to get a chance.
09:09 You have to get a risky shot,
09:11 and you have to get a chance to get out.
09:13 And the footwork was not there.
09:15 When you don't know where the ball is going,
09:17 and you are completely on the back foot,
09:19 you are beaten because
09:21 you thought it was a googly.
09:23 Normally, it was a leg spin.
09:25 It was difficult.
09:27 The ball was there.
09:29 And that was again,
09:31 you played the ball on the square leg
09:33 with the angular bat.
09:35 That was a big mistake.
09:37 That was a big mistake.
09:39 There was no footwork.
09:41 Throughout the game,
09:43 the batsmen who were out,
09:45 the ones who were in the wickets,
09:47 there was no footwork at all.
09:49 And if there was footwork,
09:51 you could have pushed a little forward.
09:53 So, the game was totally off-color.
09:55 The game was totally off-color.
09:57 But the good thing is that
09:59 the game is still on.
10:01 You never know.
10:03 There have been many such matches.
10:05 You should not lose hope.
10:07 You should try, like they did
10:09 with the stunt ball,
10:11 Pakistani bowlers should also
10:13 try within the stunt.
10:15 If you get a wicket on a new ball,
10:17 you have a complete chance
10:19 to put in complete pressure.
10:21 Then you will have to keep the field
10:23 a little ahead.
10:25 You will have to go with a slip-slip.
10:27 You will have to show a little
10:29 out-of-the-box thinking.
10:31 Why can't we do that out-of-the-box
10:33 thinking?
10:35 You can do it.
10:37 It comes from counter-attack.
10:39 You didn't counter-attack.
10:41 They are attacking you.
10:43 You are being wicked.
10:45 To get out of that pressure,
10:47 you have to be a little daring.
10:49 This is the flair of Pakistanis.
10:51 We have been doing this.
10:53 And at the time when this match
10:55 is at half-time,
10:57 the Pakistan cricket team
10:59 should get this thing
11:01 under control.
11:03 They should not talk about it
11:05 after the match.
11:07 Even if the Indian team
11:09 chases the target,
11:11 they should do it after
11:13 playing a lot of overs.
11:15 It is very important.
11:17 It can hit somewhere.
11:19 The think tank is the captain.
11:21 It is the captain's body language.
11:23 The captain has to dictate
11:25 what the think tank has to say
11:27 to the boys and what not.
11:29 But again, still the captain
11:31 is the main guy in the dressing room
11:33 who will set the tone for his
11:35 think tank and for his players.
11:37 If Babar believes in his mind
11:39 that he can win the game,
11:41 there is a chance that he might win the game.
11:43 But he has to believe within himself.
11:45 There is a lot of challenge there, Biswa.
11:47 How does Pakistan go about
11:49 defending this total?
11:51 I think it is important
11:53 early on wickets.
11:55 Even if we score 300,
11:57 it is important that we
11:59 get the Indian batting
12:01 like the first 10 overs.
12:03 Because the first two players,
12:05 especially the third players are very important.
12:07 They have a lot of batting
12:09 but to get the pressure
12:11 early on,
12:13 at least if Rohit Sharma,
12:15 Virat Kohli, if we take
12:17 both of them from the top,
12:19 then you have a slight chance
12:21 to score.
12:23 Obviously,
12:25 we have seen that P. Chisan
12:27 is not there. Like the old ball,
12:29 the spinners have come,
12:31 it is not easy here.
12:33 But first thing first,
12:35 we have to put an impact on the new ball.
12:37 We have to put an impact while
12:39 and there is a lot of things now.
12:41 First, we have to take impacts/wickets from the new ball
12:43 and we don't have to give unnecessary runs.
12:45 What if you don't get wickets
12:47 in 8 overs or 10 overs,
12:49 you will lose hope.
12:51 Live images were coming in between,
12:53 you could clearly see Babur Azam
12:55 there, not looking
12:57 very happy, he was sitting in the dugout.
12:59 He was clearly looking worried.
13:01 Our team is warming up.
13:03 Shoaib, a good point.
13:05 No matter what happens to the leader,
13:07 there should not be any worries on his face.
13:09 Because we see the face of the leader,
13:11 the body language, the face of the leader,
13:13 the way he is confident.
13:15 So, now is not the time
13:17 to think like that.
13:19 Whatever goes in batting,
13:21 you cannot change it
13:23 by bringing it back.
13:25 But you can make the upcoming
13:27 thing better.
13:29 So, the intent will be like
13:31 what Wasim Bhai, Mishba Bhai, Mohin Bhai said,
13:33 try to get wickets.
13:35 If you go to get wickets,
13:37 the net run rate will also
13:39 improve. Because long overs will come,
13:41 they will also take time on the batters
13:43 and this match can be won.
13:45 There is no such thing,
13:47 no matter how strong the batting lineup is.
13:49 When we saw the Indian batting lineup,
13:51 when Australia bowled
13:53 three, at one stage
13:55 we were thinking that
13:57 it has become 200 or 400.
13:59 So, don't lose hope.
14:01 Give your best shot.
14:03 And the main bowlers, on a particular day,
14:05 whose ball is falling at a good place,
14:07 moving or spinning, they should
14:09 bowl more. -Right from the word go.
14:11 I mean, to conserve,
14:13 to stop for the back. I don't think that should be the approach.
14:15 -And you know, we also
14:17 defended small totals
14:19 over our cricketing career. Lots of them.
14:21 96, 97,
14:23 Carlton United, in the final,
14:25 we got out at 165. Hobart,
14:27 Australia, 149, we were all out.
14:29 And we won those games. -Wow.
14:31 -And as a captain, I made sure
14:33 that my body language didn't let them know
14:35 that we lost this match.
14:37 So, I said, we will win this match.
14:39 No score has been reduced.
14:41 We will take two or three wickets from the top.
14:43 We will catch the rest. Every time, I think,
14:45 you tell your players
14:47 that you can win this game,
14:49 most of the time, you probably will win that game.
14:51 But you have to be mentally
14:53 prepared. You will
14:55 believe in yourself as a leader.
14:57 And then your team will follow.
14:59 -The expressions on the captain's face
15:01 while talking to the team,
15:03 and he gives a pep talk,
15:05 you have to look very confident. Sometimes
15:07 you have to act too. You know,
15:09 we all know India
15:11 that they have a big batting lineup.
15:13 They can easily win the match.
15:15 And then there is a factor of due.
15:17 You know, but if you give your team
15:19 a message convincingly,
15:21 you will show conviction in your words,
15:23 you will have face expressions,
15:25 you will have a business-like face.
15:27 You won't lose anywhere.
15:29 That's a chance. And everybody has to take that challenge.
15:31 No, we have to prove our worth here.
15:33 Otherwise... -Yes.
15:35 -The second important thing,
15:37 which Wasim Bhai has said,
15:39 it's not like you come and
15:41 bowl and then out. No.
15:43 You have to follow
15:45 a certain plan for that.
15:47 It's not like you get 70 in 10 overs
15:49 and then you're done. No.
15:51 You have to out the line of attack
15:53 like they did.
15:55 They took a chance of early on swing,
15:57 1-2 overs. -Then what?
15:59 -Then they basically played with the field.
16:01 Bouncers, when the field is open,
16:03 they used it, used cross seam.
16:05 Then you see, because of cross seam,
16:07 you have to
16:09 reverse the ball on both sides
16:11 in the 30th over.
16:13 The ball was like this,
16:15 it was soft and the reverse swing started.
16:17 So, we have to
16:19 follow all our plans in the 190.
16:21 It's not like we can out 3-4 on conventional swing
16:23 and then do it.
16:25 Otherwise, we have to get beaten up.
16:27 No. You have to
16:29 make every run difficult.
16:31 Then you have a chance of getting a collapse
16:33 anywhere. -Okay, Mr. Mirza, all these things
16:35 that you're saying, it's clearly seen in India's
16:37 history. Even today, when Pakistan
16:39 got a good start,
16:41 after that, you could consistently see
16:43 Virat Kohli going to Rohit again and again.
16:45 Pandya was giving his input.
16:47 Everyone was talking to every bowler.
16:49 You know, it was like
16:51 as if they were viciously
16:53 at it all the time, which is an incredible thing.
16:55 -You believe as a bowling unit
16:57 or team that
16:59 we can bring the game back
17:01 at any stage.
17:03 Until the 30th over, the control was in Pakistan's hands.
17:05 Whatever it was, there were two outs.
17:07 And commentators were saying that
17:09 now they're both getting dangerous.
17:11 India needs to do something.
17:13 Before India
17:15 did anything, we ourselves
17:17 made mistakes. We brought them back.
17:19 When you got under pressure,
17:21 they built the pressure.
17:23 By building dot balls, by bowling dot balls.
17:25 That's what we have to do.
17:27 Early wickets are available.
17:29 Otherwise, try to make a run
17:31 and we won't give it.
17:33 -He's street smart.
17:35 He saw that Bumrah didn't get early wickets.
17:37 He got only three over.
17:39 -He didn't take it.
17:41 -He took the lead.
17:43 He took it back.
17:45 After that, Rizwan plays well.
17:47 He stopped Kuldeep.
17:49 -He stopped him after the first ball.
17:51 -Yes, street smart.
17:53 Captaincy, leadership and also
17:55 backed by his players.
17:57 Like you said,
17:59 Virat was going to him
18:01 when there was a partnership.
18:03 The game is not
18:05 that two batters scored 100.
18:07 The game is not that two bowlers scored 3 wickets.
18:09 The game is about 100 overs.
18:11 Until 100 overs are not there,
18:13 you should have a plan.
18:15 Pakistan team is missing that.
18:17 -How can it come?
18:19 -I'm talking about the future.
18:21 -How will it come in the future?
18:23 -It's very simple.
18:25 If your bowlers
18:27 are in good form,
18:29 like the ones who won matches recently,
18:31 their utilization
18:33 should be good in the tournament.
18:35 Same goes for a batter.
18:37 Then individual plans come.
18:39 You get one from think tank
18:41 or captain.
18:43 Then you have your own plan.
18:45 If I have a plan
18:47 and I haven't got success in it,
18:49 then my plan is this.
18:51 I will go for that.
18:53 If that doesn't work, I will go for that.
18:55 Make as many plans as you want.
18:57 You should be a thinker.
18:59 When you play on the pitch,
19:01 sometimes the scenario
19:03 becomes different.
19:05 You should be a thinker.
19:07 I think that part is missing.
19:09 -For now, we should focus
19:11 on getting 50 overs.
19:13 We are all out.
19:15 We need to start focusing on that.
19:17 We had high hopes from
19:19 South Shaqeel today.
19:21 He will steady the middle order.
19:23 He had a great chance today.
19:25 He showcased his ability.
19:27 He looked nervous.
19:29 -Yes, I was nervous.
19:31 I could see that.
19:33 Maybe it was his first time
19:35 playing in such a crowd
19:37 against India.
19:39 He has no experience
19:41 against such a crowd.
19:43 You can expect
19:45 as a professional
19:47 that he should have played well.
19:49 I could see that
19:51 from his body language.
19:53 He was playing with a lot of
19:55 focus and time.
19:57 He was going back.
19:59 He doesn't have any
20:01 experience in
20:03 playing short or extra cover.
20:05 He didn't try anything.
20:07 -Alright.
20:09 The umpires have started
20:11 walking out of the field.
20:13 We are going to take you
20:15 back live to the action.
