imagePTI chairman and former Pakistani cricketer Imran Khan comfort Pakistani team after losing match against India in World Cup opener. He encouraged them to look ahead for upcoming matches in the tournament.

Pakistan’s renowned man who brought victory for Pakistan in World Cup 1992 believes that losing against India is not a big deal if team brings World Cup title for Pakistan.

Pak-India face-off has made everyone depressed, while talking about the match Khan said that responsibility of wicket-keeping was not assigned to the right man. “I always believed in having specialist players and I think playing Umar as a keeper was a mistake and it cost us”, Indian media reported.

“Misbah has emerged as a very sensible captain who had brought stability to the national team. He is in very good form and that is good for Pakistan because at times a captain in form can spur his team to perform beyond their capabilities,” he added.

Khan also believes that pitch was good for batting but to chase the score of 300 runs brought psychological pressure on Pakistani team.

He said, “I watched a cricket game after a long time today and my sons were also with me. I think Virat Kohli was the key for India and batted very sensibly while the way our fast bowlers delivered in the end was very satisfying”.

Imran Khan took to Twitter to get in touch with the players and to cheer the team and the entire Pakistani nation.
