Basit Ali Slams Pakistan: On February 15, in a clash between India and Pakistan, the Men in Blue defeated Pakistan by 61 runs. It was a one-sided game for Suryakumar Yadav & Co. In the pre-match conversations, the main talk was on India’s bowling line-up.
The Indian bowlers dominated against Pakistan in Colombo, showing depth in the bowling lineup, whereas on the other hand, Pakistan struggled against pacers and spinners.
In the 13th over it was seen that Suryakumar Yadav opted for a part-time bowler, Tilak Varma, who dismissed Shadab Khan on the first ball as Pakistan fell to 78/7. The thing did not end here; the Indian captain also used Rinku Singh after Tilak, and he gave just nine runs in the over.

After this move of Suryakumar Yadav, former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali said,
“Surya ne jo sabse jor se tamacha mara hai na, jab usne Rinku aur Tilak Varma ko bowling karayi hai (Surya has slapped hard by bowling Tilak Varma and Rinku Singh).”
“This is the value of Pakistan’s cricket. I’m not talking about Hardik Pandya, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, or Varun Chakaravarthy.”
