Asia Cup 2022: Virender Sehwag Points Out Two Reasons That Cost India Super 4 Match vs Pakistan
The India vs Pakistan Super 4 match in Asia Cup on Sunday went down to the wire with the Babar Azam-led side emerging as the winner of the nail-biting contest. Chasing 182 runs against India, Pakistan reached home on the penultimate ball of their innings with five wickets in hand. Former India cricketer Virender Sehwag feels that the catch of Asif Ali that was dropped by Arshdeep Singh and the wide deliveries bowled by the Indian bowlers cost India the match against Pakistan.

Asia Cup 2022: Calmer Virat Kohli closer to rediscovering his groove
Having introspected on his recent struggles with form, the star batter now seems calmer, more accepting. He also seems closer to rediscovering his groove, which is good news for Team India...DUBAI: When Virat Kohli met the press following Sunday's match against Pakistan, he instructed the media manager to not ignore anyone. It was his first interaction with the media since he relinquished Test captaincy in January. These days, Kohli seems to exude an unusual calm. The chest-thumping persona seems to have taken a backseat. In the past, especially in press conferences, there would be an air of bravado around Kohli, a sort of in-your-face intensity. On Sunday, he appeared relaxed, laidback even. His comments about MS Dhoni being the only person who messaged him after he gave up Test captaincy have now gone viral. But the crux of that statement was that Kohli believes he can now see through people. "When you have respect for someone and that's genuine, then it looks like that because there is a sense of security on both sides," he said of Dhoni's gesture. "Somehow, I live my life with honesty, and I can see through these things. I won't say these things don't bother me, but you see the truth." He spoke without aggression.

Asia Cup 2022, India vs Sri Lanka: India need to find enough bowling options for do-or-die game
"I think they had a very good game (against Pakistan) last night. There is nothing called under pressure at the moment because they are playing very good cricket and will be well prepared for tomorrow's game," Shanaka said. That said, there will be some jitters in the Indian camp. Not coming good in crunch games in big tournaments has been a problem with India for most part of the last decade. On paper, India hold all the aces. But the team is far from being settled.
