Ravichandran Ashwin defended Pakistan's cautious batting approach during their 2025 Champions Trophy match against India, emphasizing that the sluggish Dubai pitch made run-scoring challenging. He stressed that Pakistan’s struggles should not be compared to their previous innings in Karachi, where conditions were more favorable. Pakistan's top-order, including Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel, found it difficult to rotate strike, and they went 55 deliveries without a boundary in the middle overs. Despite this, the team managed to stabilize at 129-2 after 30 overs.
