Mohammad Kaif on Team India’s BGT debacle: ‘You will beat Pakan in Champions Trophy and will act like we are the best’ | Cricket News

Mohammed Kaif has made a scathing attack on Team India after they lost the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 3-1 in Australia.
Kaif said Indian have become a white-ball bully and everything will be forgotten if they manage to beat Pakan in the Champions Trophy.
“23 tareekh ko Pakan ko hara kar saari waah waahi aap loot loge (After beating Pakan February 23, you guys will take all the credit),” Kaif said in a video posted on his X handle.
“Everyone will says that we are a champions side in the white-ball. But if India want to win the World Test Championship (WTC), we need to build a strong Test side.

“We have to learn how to play on turning tracks, in Australia we will have to learn to play on seaming condition. The truth is that we are just white-ball bullies. We are lagging too far behind.
“If we have to win WTC, then players will have to give importance to domestic cricket. They need to play on the turning tracks, they will have to practice on the seaming tracks, otherwise we will not be able to win.”
Kaif also said that the 3-1 loss should be taken as a wake-up call and India need to focus on Test cricket.
“This 1-3 loss should be wake-up call. We need to pay more attention on Test cricket.
“It’s not just Gautam Gambhir, who is at fault. All players are equally to blamed for this.
“All players get the chance to play in the Ranji Trophy, but it gets tiresome for the players and they prefer to skip it. They don’t play Ranji Trophy, they don’t play practice matches then how will they become better players? And WTC will keep eluding you,” he said.
“I am telling you the truth. Whatever happened was right. Now it’s time to work on our Test cricket,” he added.
