“Playing against India you naturally feel like you want to attack their bowlers. I hate all their bowlers, to be straightforward, and if given the chance, I’ll try to do that going forward,” Nawaz said.
The right-handed batsman made the comment during an off-field interview. He is currently representing PSL franchise Quetta Gladiators, a side that is currently placed second-last on the points table.
Nawaz’s Bad Memories Against India
Hasan Nawaz has faced India only once so far, in the Asia Cup 2025 final, and it’s a match he would rather forget.
Coming in down the middle-order, he faced seven deliveries, scoring five runs before being dismissed by Kuldeep Yadav.
Pakistan would go on to lose that match despite having an upper hand early on in the second innings, not only losing the trophy to their arch rivals, but also marking three straight losses against the Men in Blue.
