The defeat extended Pakistan’s dismal World Cup record against India, who have now won eight of nine T20 World Cup meetings and all eight ODI World Cup clashes between the rivals. On Sunday night, Suryakumar Yadav’s side piled up 175/7, powered by a blistering 77 from Ishan Kishan, before bowling Pakistan out for 114 in 18 overs to storm into the Super Eights alongside the West Indies.
Soon after the defeat, Yousuf vented his frustration on social media, writing, “Time’s up for Shaheen, Babar, and Shadab, Pakistan’s T20 squad needs new performers, not empty wins against weaker sides.”
A day later, his criticism deepened. “Unless we remove political influence and personal agendas from Pakistan cricket, we cannot return to the team we once were. This is the darkest period in our cricketing history, and my heart bleeds for it. Incompetent individuals must be removed from office and from the team,” he posted on X.
Pakistan’s collapse was swift and brutal. Chasing 176, they were 13/3 inside three overs after early strikes from Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah. When Axar Patel bowled Babar Azam for five, the scoreboard read 34/4 and the contest was effectively over. Usman Khan’s 44 provided brief resistance, but a reckless charge at Axar ended his stay and triggered another collapse.
Earlier, Kishan had set the tone with fearless strokeplay, bringing up his fifty in just 27 balls. “I was just keeping it simple and watching the ball,” Kishan said, while Suryakumar added, “After we were 0-1, someone had to take responsibility and the way he took it was amazing.”
For Pakistan, however, the conversation has shifted beyond one defeat. Yousuf’s stinging words have framed it as something deeper.
Nebraska football hosting elite class of 2027 offensive lineman
Nebraska is getting ready for a return visit from class of 2027 four-star offensive tackle Oluwasemilore Olubobola. He will return to the spring game on March 28, according to a report from Rivals.com’s Tim Verghese. (subscription needed)
Olubobola is the 69th-ranked player nationally, the 10th-ranked offensive tackle, and the second-ranked player in the 2027 class from New Jersey, according to the Rivals Industry Rankings.
The offensive tackle has had a busy visit calendar over the past couple of months. He visited Nebraska on November 1 for the game against the USC Trojans. He then visited Florida on January 10 and Virginia Tech on January 31.
Olubobola measures in at six-foot-eight, 270 pounds. He is being recruited by offensive line coach Geep Wade.
This is certainly a positive development for the program. It seems like the offensive line recruiting has seen an uptick since Wade took over. Olubobola would just be another solid notch in the belt for a program that has been trying to find an identity on the line for several years now.
