2. India performed better under pressure in the recent Asia Cup 2023
India had been accused in the past of not performing under pressure. This has also been cited as a reason for their failure to win multi-nation tournaments. However, in the Asia Cup tournament, we saw the team excel in situations when things didn’t go their way.
Their first trouble was against Pakistan when they were reduced to 66/4, but Indian players dug themselves out of that hole. Against Sri Lanka in Super 4s, India's batters somehow managed to put on 213 runs. And then the bowlers showed their mastery. But the best display of performing under pressure came against Bangladesh. Despite the absence of five key players, the team kept their composure and went as close to the target as possible.
Pakistan, meanwhile, crumbled when put under pressure to chase 356 runs against India. Poor leadership, fielding, and decision-making were on display as Pakistan unravelled against Sri Lanka in the crunch game. Babar Azam and co. will not only be facing Indian players in Ahmedabad in the World Cup but also will be under pressure from the massive support by the crowd for Men in Blue in the stands.
