So you dont rate saim who won pak series in aus and sa but rate jaiswal higher who is yet to make his debut in odis tells me you are indian right.

Jaiswal is just a superior cricketer. Anyone who watched him bat will agree that he's atleast two levels above Saim Ayub an an international batter irrespective of the formats. Most Pakistanis have made peace with that fact...looks like you haven't yet.

Oh dear..I said "most" , sunny. Babar, Rizwan, Fakhar, Shaheen, Rauf etc have all played multiple ODIs against India.

And no you're wrong (for the 1000th time) - Saud Shakeel and Agha Salman did play against India..

Besides, my point is that - Last 5 games where India smashed pakistan comprehensively is more indicative of the teams' current strength than the games that were played in 1999 and 2003. And you're yet to counter that with anything substantial apart from embarassing yourselves with dumb logic

Dumb logic belongs to you :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: .

5 players is most out of 15:genius.


5 games played over 7 years or so is current strength.:genius:vk2

The entire Pakistan squad have a combined 560 odd games between them and hit and kohli have played more combined.

💯 facts.


Your quote :And you're yet to counter that with anything substantial apart from embarassing yourselves with dumb logic

I agree with you that you should stop doing it.

Its nonsensical.:shh

Most indians like hyping their players but love playing down other countries talents.

This is expected behaviour that most Pakistani supports have made peace with.

Jaiswal is superior in tests, Saim in ODIs. Even in t20s.


No disrespect but I haven't seen a lefty batting as ugly as Jaiswal. No grace or elegance.

Jaiswal hasn't Play a single odi but saim is superior lol

Both have played T20I and here are the records

Saim - 27 M, 498 runs ,21 Average and 137 strike rate .

Jaiswal - 23 M ,723 runs , 36 Average and 165 strike rate

How is saim better than jaiswal in T20 ?

There is no comparison in test cricket, jaiswal is way ahead than Tullebaaz Saim

Pakistan fan's and Their delusion has no limits

Jaiswal was man of the series under-19 world cup in 2020 edition. Scored 88 in final as well. Made 100 against Pakistan in the semi final. He has already proved his 50 over capability in age group level.
 
Indian fans need to stop making it always them vs others. We can appreciate Jaiswal and Saim at the same time. Both are world class talents. No need to put one down for another. Time will tell which one is the clear superior talent. Too early to call since Jaiswal has not even played any international ODI and Saim just recently started performing properly.

My team literally has Faheem Ashraf and Khushdil shah for crying out loud..
 
3rd class team selected has no chance against India. It will be lucky if manages to win against Bangladesh. With one very mediocre spinner and two part timers and 3 average pacers, Indian batters will have a field day.

When you have nothing material to say...you use all these silly emojis like a 13 year old lol.

You are the one who brought up games from 1999 and 2003 as examples of Pakistan throwing away games against India when the fact is that those were completely different teams with entirely different set of players.

And now you are arguing over "only 5 players" in the current team or whatever...do you even see how big of a fool I've made out of you?

You involved yourself in a discussion between me and @jeeteshssaxena and you have no clue what your talking about.

I'm not arguing about 5 players.

Its a fact that you are finding hard to digest.

Just like the 💯 facts are kohli and hit have combined have played more matches than the whole 15 man Pakistan squad put together.
Your comprehension skills are below a 5 year olds. :shh


Ignorance is bliss:rohit.

So you think Saim Ayub is as good as or better than Jaiswal?

He is a generational talent but we are not naïve to think that there wont be bumps along the way unlike you who think the☀️ shines out of your players .....

Babar has played a TOTAL of 310 career games in all formats.

kohli has played a TOTAL of 543 career games in all formats.

indian logic : Yeah this one's going to end up in tears as well for you just like all those Babar Azam delusional comparisons. Looks like you'll never learn.:bumble2

Pakistani logic: Let both players retire in order to gauge accurate comparisons. :shh:bobs :bobs :shh
 
Pakistan are missing Irfan Khan Niazi, Sajid Khan, Saim Ayub and Sufiyan Muqeem etc @Devadwal. And with only one spinner in squad, really ill prepared for UAE pitches

Apart from saim all other are nothing player as of now . Even I don't rate saim but he has good odi numbers . I don't think he would have made aby difference against India.

Pakistani playing is already perfect and all the players are in form. Faheem, usman etc will not get any game in the champion trophy .

Irfan Niazi with batting average of 9, List A average less than 30 .

Sajid Khan with List A bowling average of 38 and yet to make ODI debut .

Such world class players your selectors have seemingly missed. 😁

They are impact players not exactly but somewhat like Konstas who had little list A experience
 
Looking at the last International match between these two sides (T20 match in NY) I dont think Pakistan has any chance. ODIs are longer and Pakistani team will choke

India has just played 3 ODIs in the last 14 months. So no idea who is in form who is not. They will be very scratchy.

Yeah but in February it's very unlikely that dew will come in... conditions would be dry so in that case pitch will start gripping the ball in the second innings which will create trouble for the batters.
 
FWIW

India are just too strong for Pakistan. Come match day, although im hoping for a Pakistan win the reality may well be complete opposite. Ah well i hope the team puts up a spirited fight.

Go Pakistan!! iA

If there is no or less dew, it is good for cricket. All the water vapor created during a humid day transforms into dew when the temperature drops in the night. We know, in February the nights will be cold. On the other hand, if the temperature during the day time is mild and the conditions are not humid, the chance of heavy dew at night is very low. It will be interesting to wait and see what happens during India vs. Bangladesh match.

Tickets for highly-anticipated India-Pakistan Champions Trophy clash sold out in an hour

Tickets for the highly-anticipated clash between archrivals India and Pakistan in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 in Dubai were snapped up within minutes of going on sale on Monday. The rush was so intense that over 1,50,000 eager fans queued online, causing waiting times to exceed an hour.

The much-awaited India vs Pakistan match will take place at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Feb.23. It is a group-stage match of the 2025 Champions Trophy, which will be held on a hybrid model in Pakistan and UAE.

Residents and cricket enthusiasts alike were taken aback by the overwhelming demand for tickets for the marquee clash.

Sudhashree, a Dubai resident, expressed her astonishment, saying, “I anticipated a long queue, but the speed at which tickets vanished was shocking. By the time I secured my place, only two categories remained, both beyond my budget.”

Fans patiently queued for nearly an hour, only to find that tickets for the India-Pakistan showdown got sold out across nearly all categories, including the Dh2,000 Platinum and Dh5,000 Grand Lounge sections. With the Dubai International Cricket Stadium accommodating 25,000 spectators, the race for tickets highlighted the match’s immense popularity and significance.

Historically, an India vs Pakistan encounter not only electrifies the cricket world but also catalyzes economic activity. Anticipating a surge in visitor numbers, industry experts predicted heightened activity across hospitality, travel, and tourism sectors, with expectations of increased hotel bookings and rising airfares as fans from both nations converge on Dubai for the event.

The two-week competition will see the top eight teams play 15 matches over 19 days in Pakistan and the UAE. Group A features Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and New Zealand, while Group B includes Afghanistan, England, Australia, and South Africa.

Hosts Pakistan will enter the competition as defending champions after winning the title in 2017 in England. They will open the 2025 tournament against New Zealand in Karachi on Feb.19. The tournament is also the first global cricket competition Pakistan will be hosting since the Men’s ODI World Cup in 1996.

India and Australia are the two most successful sides in the Champions Trophy, having won it twice each.

Meanwhile, the Champions Trophy Tour concluded its trip to India after making unforgettable appearances at several iconic locations in Mumbai and Bengaluru. The Trophy Tour has covered all eight participating nations during its global journey and, with the conclusion of India leg, it has now travelled to its final stop in Pakistan.

The Trophy Tour in India began with a bang in Mumbai, where the trophy visited the city’s most popular spots, including the Wankhede Stadium, Shivaji Park, the Gateway of India, Carter Road, historic Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, Bandstand, and other renowned locations.

Fans were treated to the sight of the coveted silverware as it travelled through the vibrant streets of Mumbai, with many eager fans capturing the moment through photos and selfies.

A highlight of the Mumbai leg was the trophy’s presence at the Wankhede Stadium’s 50th anniversary celebration on Jan.19. The event saw India captain Rohit Sharma posing with the trophy alongside former India captains Dilip Vengsarkar, Ravi Shastri, Ajinkya Rahane and ICC Hall of Famers Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar and Diana Edulji. The Trophy Tour then moved to Bengaluru, where the Nexus Shantiniketan Mall hosted the Trophy Carnival, drawing cricket enthusiasts from across the city.

India became weaker in Test and ODI. They are mostly good in Mickey Mouse T20 currently.

I think Pakistan have a great chance of defeating India in the upcoming CT.
 
Pakistan side in last year and a half has become even more timid. I don't know if i should be expecting anything from the current bunch.

If India cannot win this match after all the theatrics about security and moving the tournament from Pakistan then they should be deeply ashamed.

They have secured a victory for their jawaans by requesting the relocation of the match and the victory will give them a sweet cherry on top.

With that kind of price for ticket, this one match will accumulate more money than entire Pakistan's home matches easily ...
 
Don’t expect Bumrah to be fit before this match.

It’ll be interesting to see who comes out on top between Arshdeep n Fakhar.

@Mesozoic calls Saim a hack when he s scored runs against the attack your calling ATG as well as 2 centuries in 3 matches vs SA in SA.

Your quote: It’s perfectly alright to back your own guy, but argue with facts and reality not utter nonsense.

Now apply your logic.

@Mesozoic says based on his technique teams wont find a weakness.

That is laughable on every level.

Every player has strengths and weaknesses that get found out over time.

Chances of Pakistani batting clicking significantly increases without Bumrah. After all he has been carrying their bowling attack
 
No, it is obv tougher to get into indian ODI team but what Saim has done recently in AUS and SA is also nothing less than phenomenal. I still believe Tikak Verma will outshine Jaiswal in whiteball.
