"They have never defeated India in the World Cup but we were the ones who defeated India in the 2021 World Cup": Shadab Khan

Bad timing lol You can't chest thump after getting your clock cleaned by India. 2019 world cup Shadab was there, 2023 world cup shadab was there. 2022 world cup shadab was there.
 
This guy has been trash for some time. He has inconsistencies to last a lifetime.

The long rope he has received makes you think, what kind of sway he must have with the PCB.

Players like Arafat Minhas, Qasim Akram, Maaz Sadaqat, Saad Masood & even Mohammad Nawaz in the last 6-12 months have been or will be options that deserve not just opportunities but also the lengthy rope that Shady has received.
 
This shadab lollipop is such a loser.He has always been terrible against india.

He has played 14 matches in total against India both t20is and Odis.

With bat he averages 11 against India and with ball he averages 62.

I don't understand why is he jumping like a clown after beating Namibia.

He always goes missing against big teams.
Pakistan wasted too much time on this lollipop.

Saqlain was praising him in game on hai. That hes a powerful hitter and apart from 1 over against India, he has been top notch for pak in this wc.

Openly padding his son in law

Wonder why do they keep marrying cricketer’ children.

UA, SSA, Shadab ..

What Shadab forgets is that back in the 90's and early 00's, there was no T20 cricket.

Anwar, Ijaz, Razzaq, Afridi, Akram, Akhtar, Saqlain, Moin would've made a damn good T20 side of that time and could have easily beaten India

The lot of the 90s went to India and won TEST MATCHES! Saeed Anwar scored 194 runs IN India. Shoaib Akhtar got a full house quite IN India. These are achievements this sorry lot - special mention to Shadab and Babar can only dream of.

Imagine Babar and Shadab playing a TEST MATCH in India :-/
 
To be honest, Pakistani fans themselves are responsible for this attitude in their players. They collectively lost their minds after one win against India in 2021 and proceeded to overhype a few players to the moon.

Shaheen is still playing international cricket because of that one spell.
 
Why is everyone criticizing Shadab Khan for speaking the truth?
Even the legendary 90s Pakistan team couldn’t beat a weak Indian team in ICC tournaments, that’s precisely what he pointed out.

90s players lost what, 4 matches to India in World Cups over a period of 7 years? This team loses that many to India in 4 weeks.

They were playing world cups once in 4 years and that was I think the only ICC tournament. If they had regular CT and T20 cups then they might have defeated india
 
Pakistan players must be trained to speak with the media, especially after a win.
 
Ahmed Shehzad rightly pointed out that even in yesterday’s match against Nambia, Agha bowled Shadab before Usman Tariq when Namibia were 2 down. He made him bowl 3 overs back to back to take advantage of pressure on Namb when a player like Usman Tariq could have utilized it much better. And then gave the 17th over to Shadab as well. Anyone can see that Agha is paying favours to Shadab. Disgusting stuff. Agha wake up man, wake up! Shadab will outlast you because he is one of the damads. What legacy are you leaving for yourself?

He and Amir actually have a really really good cricketing eye as well. I have been observing their analysis and they are very on point whereas Rashid who is sitting in between them has zero quality opinions and sounds like a paid troll from saya mafia. It seems like even the host Tabish has noticed that so he asks him the least amount of questions, its an absolute snooze to hear Rashid on tv.

True and Salman Mirza only getting 2 overs.
 
He is factually correct- the team he was a part of was the only team to beat India in a wc match. Dew, fluke etc etc don’t matter, it’s a fact no one can erase.
 
Should focus on his performance

Always goes missing against quality sides

The Sheikh of Saudi Arabia should haul him over coals for that remark.
 
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has conveyed its displeasure to Shadab Khan over his post-match remarks ridiculing former players, advising the all-rounder to mind his language during the ongoing World Cup, sources told Telecom Asia Sport (as quoted by news agency IANS).

Shadab made the statement after scoring a 22-ball 36 and taking 3-13 during Pakistan's 102-run victory over Namibia in Colombo on Wednesday. The PCB, through team manager Naveed Cheema, asked the all-rounder not to use harsh words against former greats.

"Naveed Cheema has called to convey to Shadab that he was out of his limits in the press conference on Wednesday night. Shadab should know that all former players - including his father-in-law, Saqlain Mushtaq - are respectable and are greats of Pakistan. Shadab should respect them and should not use such language," sources told Telecom Asia Sport, according to IANS.

The report added that Cheema has also been instructed to advise other players to restrict their comments to the match and not cross the line, failing which action will be taken.

Good stuff from PCB to put a leash on this motor mouth provided this news is actually true and not fake.
 
If Shadab had any guts , he should have said that after India match , not after beating mighty Namibia. Such Pathetic Mentality. Our Ex Cricketers did nt beat India in WCs but at least they were competitive . In Fact Pak Thrashed India in 4 consecutive games twice in 2004 and 2005. Current Pathethic set of players can dream of doing this

How many times did the 90s Pakistan team beat India in World Cups?

Even the last time we beat you in a bilateral series, you chickened out and stopped playing bilaterals altogether.
Click to expand...
Yeah they did not beat India in the world cups but they were a great team. This team might have beaten India in one WC game but that does not make them a great team or a better team than the 90's team. This is a pretty mediocre team who can beat India in the most volatile of formats, that does not say anything about the quality. Shadab will do well to improve his performances than talking about the past teams. It is actually a blessing for this Pakistan team to not play bilateral series versus India, if they did they wouldn't be making such statements.

Like Mohammad Yousuf said in his interview, the 2021 win against India has gone to these players head. All of them think that they have achieved everything in cricket after that without realising it has been almost 5 years since that win. The same thing happened to a good Pakistan side after 2017 CT win. They spoke too much and lost 5-0 to NZ right after that and then got hammered in Asia cup by India in 2 games. Same thing is happening to this Pakistan side. Making it to Super 8 was not a great achievement as they had 3 associate teams in the group, I don't think they would have made it to the next stage if Zimbabwe or WI were in the group. They were just lucky. The only tough match up they had was against India and they lost badly in that game.
 
Wow such a mediocre player and talking like he has defeated India numerous times. Those 2000's cricketers reached final in 2007 and won in 2009. Pakistan was a brilliant t20 team when those guys were playing. You don't won championship by defeating Namibia, Netherland and Canada. This guy would not have been allowed as a ball boy back then.

Actually the current Pakistan team since their win in 2022 Asia cup has lost 6 games in a row to India in T20 format and 6 games in a row in ODIs since 2017 CT finals. So that makes it 12-0 both formats combined. I don't think there is any precedent for that in the history of Pakistan cricket. The only other nation Pakistan had such record against was Australia.

100% agree.

It shines a bright light on how their mind works.

It's harsh, but this is a sign of true mediocrity. Is there anything more pathetic than boasting about a 2021 WC win where you didn't even win the tournament? It almost comes across like they know winning the WC is an impossible goal, so let's prop up a random win 5 years back discarding the whoopings they've received after.

Muhammad Yousaf Perfectly captured the problem in podcast about Mental State of these players.The arrogance and delusion of stardom is next level after Winning one game 5 years ago. It also mirrors the state of Affairs overall in our country where an army chief is given rank of FM in face of Deteriorating security situations and our Jawans are being martyred in Heaps. Its vibe of this country in every facet of life
 
WHere was Shadab when he got smoked by a real team??

Where was his attitude during that game?? NExt kiwi game is coming and we will all see what is gonna happen to him in that game. He already got a shut up call from PCB and tomorrow he might get another one.

While Shadab was technically right, it was probably not the right time to say that. LOL.

He's absolutely right. Shadab, along with Babar and Fakhar are the only members of the squad that have had success against India. He was sensational in the CT17 final and in the 2021 T20 WC, he got the crucial wicket of a rampaging Rishabh Pant who would've taken the game from us. Star Boy has every right to boast to the oldies as beating India in a WC is something they never achieved. Hoping he reflects on those past memories and gives us such impact performances this WC.
 
Shadab's father-in-law, Saqlain Mushtaq, speaking during an interview:

"Those were unwanted comments, and most of the players had played with me. In fact, I am also one of those who have not won an ICC event, but we won several big matches for Pakistan - Tests and ODIs."

Finally the best odi spinner of all time speaks up
Shadab keeps getting more chances than the likes of imad and Jamal because of his connections
Usman qadir has even better connections and could even have played for Australia if he wanted to but you don’t hear him complaining to the media
Shadab needs to grow up , if he was a better cricketer who had fulfilled his potential he would be an all format captain for Pakistan instead of being a t20 specialist pinch hitter
 
These damads have become a haadee in our throats.

They lengthily run that both of them have received has been more damaging than any victory.

To make matters worse, Pakistan have dropped there best spinner of the last 12 months because of three overs against India yet this guy is still being persisted with.

The sooner you get rid of Shadab the better.

Older players have won two CT matches against India

And it's weird to constantly use T20 as a "world cup" when there were no t20s during the ex players time so no one can predict how they would have done in T20 wc against India.
 
Ahmed Shahzad speaking during a TV show:

"First of all, you came in through the back door (Ek to aap chor raastey se aaye ho). You're neither a performer nor a regular in domestic cricket. Despite not performing at all, you're getting the backing. You didn't even do rehab after getting injured. They axed Hasan Ali from the central contracts, but not you. If that's not favoritism, then I don't know what is."

"It doesn't look good when you make such statements. And you're comparing yourself with the team from the 90s? They had their issues and lost to India in World Cups, but they were far superior to you. Look at their performances; they dominated India during that period. Just because two former players criticized the team, you suddenly forgot the backing they gave you. So, learn to respect your seniors."

Agreed. And honestly that was the weakest Indian team in a long time. Tired Indian team post IPL.

Dint we lose like 162/0 vs England too?

2008 to 2011 Pakistan t20 imo was Pakistan’s best ever t20 side. When umar gul was a match winner. That would give most top 20 teams a run for their money.

Champions trophy is far below t20 WC

Test world number 1
Then now it’s t20 WC followed by odi WC

Then huge gap

Pakistan were the pioneers/trailblazers in T20 cricket. The Pak T20 team from that era was ahead of its time with players like Umar Gul, Afridi, Imran Nazir, who felt tailor-made for that format.

In recent times, other teams have moved forward and adapted to what T20 cricket is supposed to be now but Pakistan have only moved backwards.

There was a reason why we made 4 straight semis in first 4 editions of T20 WC from 2007 to 2012

We had gun T20 team in those days
 
Shadab has been a non performer against major teams.

He should not have made big statements
 
Shameless full tosser got smacked by England

Was chest thumping against Namibia

This is his real auqaat
