Pakistani Cricket players received a piece of advice from Prime Minister Imran Khan to bat first against India if they won the toss as they are Raillu Kattas. He meant that the team cannot perform under pressure and the captain should choose to bat first. However, Sarfaraz won the toss against India but he choose to bowl first and maybe that is why the whole team is under pressure.
4/5 1. In order ro have a winning offensive strategy Sarfaraz must go in with specialist batsmen and bowlers because "Raillu Kattas" rarely perform under pressure – especially the intense kind that will be generated today. 2. Unless pitch is damp, Sarfaraz must win the toss & bat

We all know that the whole Pakistani nation is under pressure. Pakistani cricket fans’ topmost priority is to win the match against India at any cost and this has really suffocated the atmosphere. A wave of tension and anxiety has taken over both countries.
Even our Prime Minister Imran Khan has tweeted some words about strength and talent.
He said in the cricket, the game is all about 60% mental health and 40% talent in order to lead to the victory.
When I started my cricketing career I assumed success was 70% talent & 30% mind. By the time I finished playing cricket I felt it was 50-50 ratio. But now I tend to agree with my friend Gavaskar it's 60% mental strength & 40 % talent. Today role of mind will be more than 60% 1/5

PM Imran Khan Emphasis on the power of the mind that it will decide the outcome of the match.
He said Sarfaraz is indeed a bold captain of Pakistan and he has to be at his best to win this contest against India.
2/5 Today, given the intensity of the match, both teams will come under great mental pressure and the power of the mind will decide the outcome of the match today. In Sarfaraz we are fortunate to have a bold captain & today he will have to be at his daring best.

He gave another best piece of advice that there is a need to remove “fear of failure” from the mind.
The reason is that it is fear of loss and defeat that sets you back from winning and giving your best.
3/5 All fears of losing should be banished from the mind as the mind can only process one thought at a time. Fear of losing leads to a negative & defensive strategy & crucially mistakes by opponents are not pounced upon. So here are my suggestions for Sarfaraz & Pakistan team:

PM Imran Khan further advised the captain of the Pakistani Cricket players that they must go with the specialist batsmen and bowlers. He also said that it is hard for the “Raillu Kattas” to handle the pressure.
Imran Khan advised the team to fight till the last ball and give their best in the field.
The prayers of the whole nation are with them. Just give their best and accept the outcome like a true spokesman in the end.
5/5 3. Finally, even though India may be the favourites, banish all fear of losing. Just give your best and fight till the last ball. Then accept whatever the result like true sportsmen. The nation's prayers are with all of you. Good Luck.

He has also advised the Pakistani cricket team against West Indies to give their 100 percent without fear of defeat. However, Pakistan lost the match by seven wickets.
My advice to the Pakistan team today is what I would tell my players before a match: Give your 100 percent, fight to the last ball and never let the fear of losing enter your mind, influence your strategy or play. Pakistan’s prayers and support are with Sarfaraz and the team.

However, Sarfaraz has chosen to bowl against Prime Minister Imran Khan wish and we wonder what will be the outcome of this match.
