A former fast bowler of Indian cricket team Sreesanth is baffled at reports that the Pakistan Cricket Board complained about the hostility of the crowd during the India vs. Pakistan 2023 World Cup match in Ahmedabad.
He explained how it was natural for the crowd to rally behind the home team and claimed that Pakistan would have been praised had they played better cricket. The 2011 World Cup winner also asked them not to come to India if they couldn't handle the pressure.
Sreesanth spoke about the values that former legendary Indian captain MS Dhoni instilled in the team and said, See, you will get praise from the crowd if you do well, and if you do poorly, you will get criticized. As a team, you need to be ready for both. Mahi Bhai has always said to focus on the process because the pressure will always be there. Don't come to India if you can't handle the pressure. Go back. As it is, you're playing that way."
