IND vs PAK | Twitter in disbelief as Salman Agha hands initial advantage to India after opting to bat
High-pressure games can lead to questionable decisions, and Pakistan skipper Salman Agha handed the initial advantage to India even before the first ball was bowled. In a head-to-head dominated by the chasing team, he opted to bat first just to avoid the pressure of chasing in a high-stakes game.
In a ground where sides have often preferred chasing, his decision baffled many a cricket fan as India won the psychological battle at the spin of the coin itself. Moreover, the head-to-head between India and Pakistan since 2014 has been dominated by the chasing side.
In eight games played between the sides, seven have been won by the team batting second. And the Men in Green’s start justified their nerves too, as they were reduced to 6/2 within the second over.
Twitter was in disbelief as Salman Agha’s confusing decision explained the pressures of a high-octane game.
PAK bat first!
