Pakistan men’s team head coach Mike Hesson questioned the way his side was judged especially in its results against India, saying that no team in world cricket has found a consistent answer to the current Indian side.Speaking to Cricinfo, Hesson said that Pakistan’s progress should not be measured only by matches against India. The former New Zealand coach, who is in charge of Pakistan’s white-ball teams in 2025, acknowledged India’s current position at the pinnacle of world cricket and said that Pakistan is not the only one struggling against them.The two teams have not played a bilateral series in over a decade due to political reasons. They have now only met in multi-country tournaments, with India dominating the rivalry since 2022, including three wins over Pakistan in the 2025 Asia Cup and a 61-run victory in the 2026 T20 World Cup.“In last year’s Asia Cup, for example, we won every match except India,” Hesson told Cricinfo. “The truth is that every single team in the world is struggling to beat India at the moment. Every team, not just Pakistan.”Hesson said Pakistan’s performances against other teams often go unnoticed because of the focus on India.“Rightly or wrongly, Pakistan is measured by their performance against India. And right now, India is not just the best team; they are the best team by a mile,” he said. “In the T20 World Cup, we lost to England in the Super 8 behind Harry Brook’s hundred and a tight game outside of that. We won every [other] game outside India,” he said.The Pakistan coach also pointed to the team’s progress over the past year, saying the results showed they were moving in the right direction.“From 2023-2025, we’re not out of the ICC events pool. So you can’t go from eighth in the world to suddenly competing unless you start winning more regular cricket games.
