T20 World Cup: Imran Khan wore Tiger T-Shirt in 1992 to keep the team motivated
Imran Khan had led his team to victory in the 1992 World Cup final. During the toss, he came out wearing a jersey with a tiger on it! Why? Because he wanted his boys to fight like tigers in the final.
The inspiration worked like a charm as Pakistan defeated England by 22 runs to lift the World Cup. Imran’s career ended on the best possible note.
Pakistan team doing Imran: Saqlain is also doing Imran now. He is trying to instill team spirit in the Pakistan team by making them carry national flag.
Caoch was all praise for the Babar Azam’s squad.
“After winning, it becomes easy to implement one’s plans,” he said. “The team is moving forward in a positive direction. All members of the team are working together with the same mindset.”
With two back to back wins against India and New Zealand, Men in Green has almost sealed the spot for the semifinal. Now they will be facing Afghanistan, Scotland and Namibia in their next three Super 12 matches.
