Pakistan has been traditionally known for relying on their fearsome fast bowlers, but they have shifted gears under the new head coach, Mike Hesson. The Men in Green opted for a spin-dominated attack suited to the spin-friendly UAE pitches in the ongoing Asia Cup 2025.

Chasing a paltry target of 58, the Men in Blue cruised to 60/1 in just 4.3 overs, with Abhishek Sharma scoring a quickfire 30 off 16 balls. Now, both India and Pakistan are gearing up to revive their rivalry on Sunday, and Sanjay Manjrekar dragged legendary bowler Wasim Akram into the matter.
Maybe Wasim Akram would hate it: Sanjay Manjrekar
Manjrekar believes that the current Pakistan team’s spin-centric attack could give India a completely different challenge in the Asia Cup 2025 encounter, but this could hurt the legendary Wasim Akram. The commentator believes that minimal pace and heavy spin may test the batters’ adaptability.
Sanjay Manjrekar said on Sony Sports Network, “I like this bowling combination because it’s India vs Pakistan, and I feel this attack might give the Indian batters something different to think about. They’ve played Pakistan in world events before, but usually against a certain kind of attack. This is completely different—hardly any pace on show—and maybe Wasim Akram would hate it.”

Manjrekar signed off by saying, “Batting will need a little improvement against India, but credit to Mike Hesson for making the most of the resources he has. Saim Ayub has hardly bowled for Pakistan in the past, but under Hesson, he’s bowled in almost 90% of the innings. This shows a new approach, and that’s exciting because it’s refreshing to see Pakistan try something different.”
