Indian cricketer blames Babar Azam and Rizwan for Pakistan's humiliating loss against India

Hardik Pandya was speaking at the post match presentation.
In the cricket match, Babar and Rizwan's timid approach on the field became quite evident. They displayed a cautious style of play, avoiding taking any unnecessary risks.
Surprisingly, their conservative approach seemed to work in our favor, as it constantly kept our team in contention. Their reluctance to attack meant that we could easily deliver dot balls and build pressure on their batting side.
This strategy effectively restricted their run-scoring opportunities. One of the intriguing observations in cricket is that when two players adopt a similar batting style, it can create a domino effect.
In this case, if one of them happens to get out, it opens up numerous opportunities for the bowling side.
Babar and Rizwan's batting similarities not only made them vulnerable as a pair but also put their team in a precarious position as we took full advantage of any mistakes they made.
Babar Azam was joined on the pitch by Rizwan when Imam ul haq wicket was taken by pandya at 73 runs in the 13th over. Following that the duo made a partnership of 82 runs in 17.1 overs.
