Former Pakistan skipper, Inzamam-ul-Haq has high praises for the recent performances of the Indian team and the way the team has been able to groom its youngsters. Inzamam was speaking on India’s 66-run victory over England in the first ODI of the three-match series in Pune and said that he has been amazed at how debutants have come-up with match-winning performances for the side. He further said that it is almost as if the team has found a machine for producing talented youngsters.
In the latest video on his Youtube Channel, Inzamam-ul-Haq said, “I think India have set up some sort of machine to manufacture new players. There were two debutants even today (Prasidh Krishna and Krunal Pandya). This gives a clear signal to the senior cricketers that you have to perform well to stay in the side.”

He further explained, “I’m noticing since the Australia series that in every match or format, a youngster turns up and gives outstanding performance. Seniors have their role but when juniors perform like this then it speaks a lot about the side. India’s performance has been this good in the last six months because of their youngsters.”
Inzamam was also seen praising the debutant, Prasidh Krishna for picking up four wickets in his debut match and said that such performances will keep the senior players on their toes.
Former Pakistan skipper elaborated, “When India needed wickets, this young boy Krishna, who was playing his first match picked up four wickets. The kind of cricket, the quality of cricket that India is playing nowadays, they are making it look easy against opposition like England. It was looking like it’ll be tough for India after England’s opening partnership but later on, Indian bowlers didn’t allow them the space to breathe.”
Inzamam also pointed out the crucial 112-run partnership between KL Rahul and Krunal Pandya that took the match away from England.

Describing the same, Inzamam-ul-Haq said, “The difference that happened in the match was because of KL Rahul and Krunal Pandya. That was the turning point. If India had scored 270-280 then England would have chased it but that 30 runs difference came in the total because of Krunal Pandya, who scored 58 off 31 balls. That’s why I’m saying that there’s a machine in India now.”
