Pakistan batters need to be selfish like Virat Kohli - Michael Vaughn

SIBY JEYYA
Pakistan finished fifth in the points standings after losing to england in kolkata to conclude their 2023 world cup campaign. Pakistan's ambitions of making it to the last four were scuppered when england decided to bat instead of Pakistan; Babar Azam's team needed to win by at least 287 runs, and their chances of qualifying were much more difficult when they batted second. pakistan faced an unlikely situation as england scored a robust 337/9, making it hard for them to attain the goal in just 6.4 overs.

Even though it was evident at the mid-innings break that Pakistan's chances of making the world cup semifinals were over, they were bowled out for 244 and suffered their sixth defeat of the tournament as a result of their poor batting display. In addition, when pakistan was eliminated from the competition, former england cricket player Michael Vaughan made a vicious jab at former Pakistani captain Mohammad Hafeez. The two had been targeting one other on social media for the previous several weeks.

The verbal spat between the two started when Vaughan made the funny observation that controversy motivates pakistan to play better and that there has to be controversy before to every World Cup. Hafeez responded to Vaughan by drawing attention to the english bowler's retirement, during which he concentrated on problems with his contract with the ECB.

Vaughan chastised Hafeez once more for his comments on virat kohli, labelling the indian batsman as "selfish" for hitting a century in the game against South Africa. Even a video of kohli dismissing Hafeez was shared by the former england captain, and it quickly gained popularity on social media. Vaughan referenced Hafeez's "selfish" comment about kohli when pakistan was eliminated from the competition on Saturday, suggesting that Pakistan's hitters had to act similarly in order to increase their chances of winning.
