Pakistan’s nation has a special bond with the game of cricket. Cricket is an emotion, a feeling for Pakistanis. There has never been a dull moment in the history of Pakistan cricket. This time, in T20 World Cup that is happening in Dubai, Pakistan team’s exceptional performance had opened up the ways towards good cricket in Pakistan.
Pace bowlers, spinners, wicket keepers and batting team made it possible for Pakistan to be the very first and finest team in the T20 World Cup semi-finals.
Nowadays most favourite Pakistan team captain, ‘King Azam’, the skipper, has positioned himself on the top in the latest ICC Men’s T20 International (T20I) batting rankings.
Not to forget that, King Azam overtook Indian captain Virat Kohli to become the 1st ranked ODI batsman in the world in April.
We have yet not forgotten that New Zealand refused to play in Pakistan earlier in September 2021 due to so called ‘security concerns’. The Kiwis were scheduled to play 3 ODIs in Rawalpindi starting on 17th September 2021 before the series shifted to Lahore for a five-match T20I series, but the entire tour postponed on the last moment.
The sportsmanship of Pakistan cricket team witnessed during the T20 World Cup is winning hearts around the globe. This super squad is the symbol of grace and motivation for the emerging talent.
What we love most with regard to these gestures and attitude, is that they’re showing everybody that Pakistan is an awe-inspiring phenomenon, here and there on the field.
