India plays according to the conditions – Rashid Latif
Former Pakistani captain Rashid Latif warned that Pakistan’s trend to get carried away has often worked against them in matches against India. He said India had succeeded in their composure and adaptation to match the situations.
“We become emotional or hyper and try to do everything in one go. India plays according to the conditions and the situation-that’s why they succeed,” he said.
Latif said that Hardy Pandya changes the game, while Suryakumar Yadav, Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson ensure stability. He added that Jasprit Bumrah is a winner of the match due to his precise bowling alley in T20is.
“Precision is everything in T20is, and Bumrah is unrivaled,” noted latif.
He also mentioned that Pakistan could take an advantage from recent experience on locations adapted to a spin.
