Karachi: Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra accused the Pakistan cricket team of being inconsistent.
Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra, while talking about the performance of the Pakistan team on his YouTube channel, said that the weakness of the Pakistani team is not new but has been there for a long time.
He said that Pakistan is the defending champion of the Champions Trophy, but the fact is that it gets stuck under pressure. Pakistan lost to the United States in the last T20 World Cup 2024 and could not qualify for the second round.
Aakash Chopra further said that due to Pakistan’s recent poor performance in ICC events, there will be pressure in the Champions Trophy as well.
Aakash Chopra said that the graph of the Pakistani team sometimes goes up and sometimes down, they are rarely stable. This team is like their country where ups and downs are common, this situation is also seen in their cricket.
The former Indian cricketer further said that Pakistan is an unpredictable team and breaking down under pressure is their major weakness. Will Pakistan be able to overcome this problem? This is my big question because they will be under pressure in this tournament.
It should be noted that the opening match of the Champions Trophy 2025 between Pakistan and New Zealand will be played on Wednesday, February 19 at the National Stadium Karachi.
The host team is participating in the tournament after recently losing to New Zealand by 5 wickets in the final of the tri-series, which also included South Africa.
Pakistan had successfully achieved the target of more than 350 runs against South Africa in Karachi, but deciding to bat against New Zealand on the same ground, the national team was limited to a score of just under 250, which the Kiwis easily achieved.
