The India vs Pakistan game was one hell of a game. It saw the Indian team above at one moment, while the Pakistan team was at the top the next. But the Indian team had the last laugh. India won the game by 4 wickets. The game's best player was Virat Kohli. He was elite on the eve. It felt like Virat Kohli from 2016 was back. The game panned out exactly like the 2016 India vs Australia game at Mohali.

For Pakistan, it was the final overs of the first innings that added immense value. The Indian top order failed again. So, what are the top 3 learnings from the India vs Pakistan 2022 T20 World Cup game? Here is a look:?

The Indian Top-Order was Struggling in India VS Pakistan 2022 T20 Game:?

The Indian top-order crumbled under the pressure of the Pakistani pressure once again. This has been observed for the 3rd time in the past year. It was only Virat Kohli who intended to show some character. Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf were the boys who ran through the Indian line-up. Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, and Suryakumar Yadav were sent back early. It was a recap of the India VS Pakistan game in the 2021 T20 World Cup. ?

The Pakistani Middle Order is a Bit Reliable:?

The likes of Iftikhar Ahmad and Shan Masood have ensured that Pakistan has a reliable middle order. There was a lot of criticism around the lines that Pakistan has a middle order that collapses like a castle of cards but that was not the case. Shan Masood, the old tool in the toolbox, made sure that the innings were held together while Iftikhar Ahmad attacked the opposition. Iftikhar played a selective game and attacked selected bowlers. Both the senior batters have joined hands and have worked to solve a recurring issue in the Pakistan team. If Asif and Haider Ali can now get going, there is nothing that can stop the Pakistan team. ?

India VS Pakistan T20 World Cup 2022, Indian Death Bowling is a concern: 

The Indian death bowling is a point of concern. Even the Pakistan team which had already lost 7 wickets managed to score 40 runs off the last 20 balls. Arshdeep has filled the void of Bumrah in the initial few overs but the death overs are not going well. Mohammad Shami will have to show some character and put his experience to use. The team can make use of Harshal Patel but in that case, the express pacer of the group is missing. Shami brings in the express pace and he is the only bowler who can bowl at 145+ clicks. ?
