"Play 10 Tests, ODIs and T20Is against us"- Pakistan star openly challenges India after humiliating loss in ICC Champions Trophy 2025
Former Pakistan cricketer Saqlain Mushtaq has openly challenged India after his team's poor loss in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. He openly told the Rohit Sharma-led side to play 10 Test Matches, 10 ODIs and 10 T20Is against them to determine who is the best.
Saqlain Mushtaq's comments after the Pakistan National Cricket Team suffered a horrible loss against India National Cricket Team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The Mohammad Rizwan-led side was at the receiving end of a horrible 6-wicket loss against the Rohit Sharma-led side and also got eliminated from the tournament.
Pakistan National Cricket Team looked torrid with the bat and ball against India. The Mohammad Rizwan-led side got bundled out for 241 runs and then failed to put pressure on the opposition with the ball as well. India chased the target with more than 6 overs to spare.
Pakistan National Cricket Team faced a lot of criticism for their poor performances. The Mohammad Rizwan-led side faced two back-to-back defeats in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 before their last game got washed out. They ended the tournament without a single win.
If India is truly a good team, play 10 Test Matches, 10 ODIs and 10 T20Is against us (Pakistan), and it will become clear which team is the Best - Saqlain Mushtaq
With Pakistan having a tough time in the India game as well as the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, Saqlain Mushtaq came up with a different reaction. He challenged the India National Cricket Team to play regular matches against them.
He stressed that if Pakistan gets their preparation right and sorts out things in the right direction, they can give a solid reply to India. Speaking to News 24, he explained:
"If India is truly a good team, play 10 Test Matches, 10 ODIs and 10 T20Is against us (Pakistan), and it will become clear which team is the Best. If we get our preparation right and sort out things in the right direction, then we will be in a situation where we can give solid answers to the world and India as well."
