Former Indian opener Sadagopan Ramesh criticized Pakistan for their outdated batting style in T20Is after their loss to Team India in the 2025 Asia Cup final on September 28. Despite India playing only four regular bowlers, with Shivam Dube as the fifth bowling option, the Men in Green failed to capitalize on the opportunity.Pakistan scored only 23 runs off Dube's three overs, two of which were bowled in the powerplay. They endured a dismal collapse from 113/1 in the 13th over to be bowled out for a sub-par 146.Talking about the difference in calibre between India and Pakistan's batting, Ramesh said on his YouTube channel (8:18):"When Pakistan kept losing wickets from 113/1, they never changed their method. They kept playing for boundaries and sixes without ever assessing the situation. Pakistan batters also lack the unorthodox shots needed in T20 cricket. All they do is attempt slogs over long on and deep mid-wicket. They played Shivam Dube's bowling in the powerplay like it was Hardik Pandya bowling."He added:"This is where India are different. Based on the situation, they ran ones and twos and only when they were out of trouble, they went for the big shots. Indian batters also played the unconventional shots. T20 requires evolved thinking but Pakistan continue to play outdated cricket."India struggled initially in their run chase, losing three quick wickets inside the powerplay. However, the middle-order, led by Tilak Varma, steadied the ship and accelerated in time to help India seal the deal in the final over.Team India continued their dominance over Pakistan to win a record ninth Asia Cup titleTeam India has dominated Pakistan across all formats over the past few years, including registering three wins in the 2025 Asia Cup.
