Former India player turned veteran commentator Aakash Chopra has added that Pakistan are at their lowest point after their early exit from the 2025 Champions Trophy as well. He shared that the Pakistan team would be “foolish” if they stuck with the same team and expected different results as well. Notably, Pakistan lost to New Zealand by 60 runs and to India by six wickets in their two 2025 Champions Trophy Group A matches as well.

In a video shared on his YouTube channel ‘Aakash Chopra,’ he said, “Pakistan cricket is at its lowest ebb, which means there is no scope for going lower than this. You have gone really down and I don’t think there is any way to come out of this. You can make radical changes and change everything. If you think like that, maybe there is some hope, but the team you are playing, if you expect different results with that, which means you keep making the same mistakes and expect a different result, that’s called foolishness, my friend, nothing else.”

In the same video, Aakash Chopra also said that Pakistan used to respond aggressively under pressure earlier.

“They have been predictably unpredictable always. However, there was one thing in Pakistan cricket which used to define them always, and it is probably our mistake that we think that those things can happen today as well, which is what is their first response to pressure. Their first response used to be aggression. If we go 50 years back, India’s first response used to be a defensive option. We didn’t use to do a pre-emptive strike. We used to defend ourselves if someone attacked us but didn’t attack anyone. The country’s philosophy is probably your game’s philosophy because that’s your fabric,” Aakash Chopra concluded.
