Where is the professional attitude?, Miandad’s question
Former captain and great batsman Javed Miandad was not surprised by this result but he wondered why the players were seen under such pressure. He said, ‘It is useless to blame the system, selectors and all these. The question is whether these selected players have some shortage? Does PCB not take care of them? Are they not paid enough? So where is the passion, passion and professional attitude to perform in big matches and tournaments.
Miandad said, ‘The truth is that even before the match started, our players were under pressure. See their emotion. None of them was trying to dominate the bowlers. Miandad said, ‘Players have always been doing well in difficult times. He took the name of Virat Kohli as an excellent example of such mentality, who scored an unbeaten 100 in the match. He said, “He did well when his team needed to do well.”
“Comparison to Babur and Virat”
Cricket analyst and writer Omar Alvi said that the comparison between Kohli and Babar Azam, who scored 23 runs last night, should now end forever. He said, ‘Honestly, he did not perform well.

He said, ‘I do not remember except for a match that Babur has ever performed well against India.’
