The Reply of Pakistan Star On Lack Of Sixes Breaks Internet
A number of things are missing from the Pakistan game at the moment at the Cricket World Cup 2023. With losses against India and Australia, the Babar Azam-led side is struggling to keep up in the race to a semi-final spot in the ODI Cricket World Cup 2023.
However, on Monday in Chennai, the Pakistan cricket team ended a long wait for the match against Afghanistan. Pakistan succeeded in ending their 1,169-ball streak of not hitting a sixer during the first powerplay in ODIs this year. The Men in Green accomplished this during their ICC Cricket World Cup match against Afghanistan in Chennai on Monday.
The star batter of Pakistan, Imam-ul-Haq, was asked about the lack of sixes from Pakistan ahead of the Afghanistan match. A reporter asked, "Lot of talk about the top-order not hitting sixes. What is the secret behind not hitting sixes at this level, and what's the mindset? Is there a process? Is there a mindset that you have to unlock? What is it?"

In reply, Imam said, "Maybe we want to eat more proteins and not that many carbs. It's just that there is nothing; we want to talk about it. It's just that we don't really feel it if we are not hitting sixers or fours. It's just that what are we doing for the team if we are winning matches? Unfortunately, in our last two matches, we did not play well. We have to accept it.”
