T20 World Cup 2022 These things clearly shows that they just take pressure Waqar Younis on Indian team s woes in ICC knockout matches

India v England - ICC Men's T20 World Cup: Semi Final Former Pakistan speedster believes that the Indian cricket team played under immense pressure in the semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2022 against England. After winning the toss, England skipper Jos Buttler put the Men in Blue to bat first on a flat wicket in Adelaide. India rode on Hardik Pandya's late fireworks and Kohli's composed innings to reach a par score of 168. England openers Alex Hales (86*) and Jos Buttler (80*) romped to a 10-wicket win with their nonchalant approach in the chase to see the moderate target with four overs to spare. It was an identical 10-wicket loss for India against Pakistan in their first match of the T20 World Cup 2021 in Dubai. India's failure to qualify for the Asia Cup final brought the team management under scrutiny and their recent exit from the would add salt to their wounds. Waqar believes Rohit Sharma's men take extreme pressure in big matches. While speaking on how team India has been under pressure over the last year, the former Pakistan pacer told A Sports: "It (pressure) was seen today, when they played Pakistan last year in UAE, in the Asia Cup as well. All these things clearly shows that they just take pressure and that's why they couldn't really move on with the game." Younis added: "If you look at their big names, you take Rahul, Rohit, and Virat who have centuries to their names. But today it just felt like they were in a shell."
