India Mostly Loses Matches Due to their Media Pressure. Shoaib Akhtar, a former fast bowler for Pakistan, has blasted the Indian media for placing too much pressure on their cricket team, particularly before crucial matches against Pakistan.
He cited an instance from the Asia Cup 2022 where he thought media hype had a negative impact on the Indian team.
Although Akhtar believes India has a talented team, they occasionally lose because of the intense pressure put on them by their media.
He is requesting that the Indian media treat the national team with more respect. And refrain from placing unwarranted pressure on them.
He related his own experience of watching the Indian media put tremendous pressure on their team while he was in Dubai. Shoaib claimed that this might be detrimental.

Akhtar added that Pakistan actually feels less pressure when they perceived as the underdog, which allows them to play more freely and confidently.
Noteworthy victories include Pakistan’s victory over India in the Asia Cup 2022 and Pakistan’s 238-run victory over Nepal in the tournament’s opening game.
