The manner in which Pakistan won, people will stand up and take notice,” Ashish Nehra mentioned whereas talking on Cricbuzz.’You need to reward the best way Pakistan performed'”No, not at all. The ball had also gotten a little wet because of the dew. And the way Pakistan started, it filled them with confidence and both of them batted very cleanly. I just remember one incident when Mohammad Rizwan played a sweep shot off Varun Chakravarthy and it went for a six that was the only shot where it felt like the batter has taken a risk. Other than that, they played risk-free batting. And with the dew factor and the pitch got better to bat on, they took full advantage of that. So you just have to praise the way Pakistan played today,” Nehra mentioned when he was requested if India’s bowlers may have carried out higher.Nehra mentioned that India captain Virat Kohli may have bowled Mohammed Shami for 2 consecutive overs in Powerplays, however apart from that, he didn’t do a lot improper on the evening.”About Virat Kohli’s captaincy, the only thing I would say is he could have played Mohammed Shami for two consecutive overs (in the Powerplay), but it is also not easy for the captain because there were no wickets in the first three overs, so he tried Varun Chakravarthy also who can be an X-factor, but he went back to Shami and then gave the sixth over to Bhuvneshwar Kumar. But basically, Pakistan did not give India a chance. From their bowling to their fielding, to their batting, they played a 10/10 match and dominated,” Nehra mentioned.
