Fast bowler Joginder Sharma, now serving as a DSP with Haryana Police, was key to India's victory in the 2007 ICC T20 World Cup. He bowled the critical final over against Pakistan, securing the win. His mental strength and composure during high-pressure moments are memorable highlights of his cricketing career.

In a remarkable turn of events during the 2013 Test match at Harare, Zimbabwe triumphed over Pakistan by 24 runs. Posting scores of 294 and 199, Zimbabwe set a target of 264. Despite Misbah-ul-Haq's efforts, Pakistan fell short with only 239 runs. Tendai Chatara's five-wicket haul played a pivotal role in this rare victory for Zimbabwe.

The Pakistan Cricket Board on Monday named stalwarts Misbah-ul-Haq, Saqlain Mushtaq, Sarfaraz Ahmed, Shoaib Malik and Waqar Younis as mentors of five teams taking part in the Champions Cup domestic tournament. The big names in Pakistan cricket have been appointed mentors on three-year contracts following a transparent and robust recruitment process, according a PCB statement. Waqar Younis recently worked as PCB advisor on cricket affairs while Saqlain Mushtaq is a former head coach of the national team. Misbah and Waqar have also had coaching stints with the national team.

Former Pakistan skipper Misbah-ul-Haq had to retire injured during the World Championship of Legends Final in Birmingham. India Champions wicket-keeper Robin Uthappa showed sportsmanship by offering a shoulder to help him retire, a gesture that won the hearts of fans worldwide and further enhanced the spirit of cricket.

The pain of failing to take Pakistan over the line against India in the 2007 T20 World Cup final is still evident in Misbah-ul-Haq's voice. Pakistan's captain at that time, Misbah took his team to the brink of victory, only to fall closer to the finish line. Played at the Wanderers in Johannesburg on Septmber 24, 2007, the short side boundaries gave Misbah the confidence that they can chase down India's 157 for 5 to win the trophy.

Misbah-ul-Haq has criticised the Pakistan team management after their narrow defeat to India in the T20 World Cup match. Despite a strong bowling performance, Pakistan's batting lineup failed to capitalize, jeopardizing their chances of progressing. Misbah highlighted critical errors in Pakistan's approach during the run chase, particularly the underutilization of Iftikhar Ahmed.

Misbah-ul-Haq was the lone warrior for Pakistan in the 2007 final, scoring 43 off 38 balls with the help of four sixes. He brought his team to the brink of victory, until little-know medium-pacer Joginder Sharma became India's unsung hero and helped the 'Men in Blue' lift their maiden T20 World Cup trophy.

As the United States of America opens its doors to co-host a major international cricket tournament for the first time, in a nation typically enthralled by baseball and basketball, there's no grander showcase for the sport than witnessing traditional rivals India and Pakistan go head-to-head in New York on June 9.

Misbah-ul-Haq has emphasized the importance of Babar Azam's performance in T20 cricket, highlighting the need for adaptability and maintaining an optimal strike rate. With the T20 World Cup in June, Misbah praised Babar's recent 75-run innings against Ireland, highlighting his explosive knocks and ability to adjust his batting approach according to the team's requirements.

The highly anticipated clash between India and Pakistan is scheduled for June 9 in New York, marking one of the most eagerly awaited matches of the T20 World Cup, commencing on June 1 in the Americas. Historically, India has dominated encounters between the two teams in T20 World Cup tournaments, with Pakistan securing victory only once in seven meetings, which occurred in 2021.

Former Pakistan captain misbah ul haq has raised concerns about the Pakistan Cricket Board's management policies, stating that both foreign and local coaches are hesitant to work with the board due to uncertainties and short-sightedness. Misbah, who served as head coach and chief selector of the Pakistan team from 2019 to 2021, criticized the board for dismissing players and coaches based on series or top management changes.

After India's defeat by six wickets against Australia in the ODI World Cup 2023 final match on Sunday, the former Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik remarked on KL Rahul's batting approach. "KL Rahul was just trying to bat through the 50 overs. He should not have done that and should have tried to play his game. If you're batting in tough conditions and the boundaries aren't coming easily, then at least you've got to rotate strike. That wasn't happening, there were a lot of dot balls," Malik said.

Legendary fast bowler Wasim Akram blamed the faults in the Pakistan cricket system for the side's dismal performance in the 2023 ODI World Cup and added that captain Babar Azam shouldn't be made scapegoat for the poor showing in India.

Former captain Misbah-ul-Haq has asserted that the Pakistan Cricket Board dismissed his suggestion for a reassessment of the national team's spin bowling attack in the World Cup. This proposal was disregarded, purportedly due to the insistence of captain Babar Azam and head coach Mickey Arthur.

Former Pakistan captains expressed disappointment that their team has not improved in the last four years, from the 2019 World Cup to the ongoing edition, and missing the knockout stages due to inferior run rates. Pakistan need a 287-run win over England in Kolkata to replace New Zealand in the No. 4 semifinal spot on net run-rate. In the 2019 World Cup, Pakistan needed to beat Bangladesh by over 300 runs in the last league game to knock the Black Caps out of the semifinals, but couldn't achieve the outcome.

Glenn Maxwell has been one hell of a freak. Whether it's his breathtaking shots that leaves everyone in awe or the bizarre accidents he has met with -- snapping his knee at a house warming party and more recently, falling off a golf cart that forced him to miss a World Cup game.

India's unstoppable performance in the ICC ODI World Cup has sparked questions among opponents, fans, and experts about how to stop the Indian team. After a 243-run victory against South Africa, India appear unstoppable in the tournament. Pakistan's bowling legend Wasim Akram believes that every team in the World Cup, including New Zealand, South Africa, and Pakistan, must be thinking the same question at the moment. The hosts' recent victory against South Africa has further fueled the question.

India's pace attack in the ICC ODI World Cup was a major success, with Jasprit Bumrah, Moahmmed Shami, and Mohammed Siraj securing a win against Sri Lanka. The trio dismissed the Sri Lankan batting line-up for 55 runs in 19.4 overs, a significant improvement from their 357 for 8 performance in Mumbai. Shami's second five-wicket haul in three games was a highlight, while Bumrah's first delivery was unplayable, dismissing Sri Lanka opener Pathum Nissanka for a golden duck off the first ball of the run chase.

Shreyas Iyer's challenges with handling short-pitched deliveries have garnered significant attention, and his exclusion from the team seems increasingly likely upon Hardik Pandya's return to the side. Iyer succumbed to the short ball both in the match against New Zealand in Dharamsala and in the recent game against England in Lucknow.
