Yesterday the big thing was Kohli's wicket because rohit is like bread and butter for us but virat has habit of scoring against us so taking his wicket was phenomenal.
And overall Naseem Shah was unplayable, scorecard won't tell you his contribution, boy was on absolute fire as usual and captaincy let him down because if he bowled few more overs early on then even spinners would have taken wickets.
There were multiple captaincy flaws, unfortunately captain was following scorecard, early on Naseem was wicket less that's why he brought haris even in power play and when haris gave you 2 more wickets then why you don't keep one fast bowler bowling from one side, if naseem had bowled 3 overs with any spinners right after haris's spell than wicket was obvious.
Same he did at the end of inning Naseem came late to bowl, because haris gave you wicket of Kishan that's why you keep him bowling which costed us 20 more runs.
I personally want Faheem at the place of Nawaz or Salman because you can't be solely dependent on 4 spinning options for those 20 overs, variety in options can ease your decisions. Because already you have enough spinners for 20 overs then why not to have one medium fast with bit of batting ablity too.
Babar's captaincy looked okay in last few serieses but maybe the pressure was the reason.
