T20 World Cup 2021: India's winning streak vs Pakistan in World Cup ends, what can India learn from it?

All good things should come to an end so that they may restart again later. Probably, that’s the only positive Team India will take away as their historic winning streak against Pakistan came to an end.

It all started in 1992 when India defeated Pakistan in the World Cup. Since then 12 games in a row, the Men in Blue had results coming in their favour in World Cups. Be it the 50-over format or the T20s, Team India dominated and how but Virat Kohli became the first Indian captain to lose an ICC tournament game and then in a World Cup for India against Pakistan.

The streak might be over but there is a lot what Team India will learn from the defeat. An early wake up call after 2 straight wins in the warm ups might just be the biggest blessing in disguise for Team India in World T20. Hardik Pandya might not feature in this tournament again if he doesn't bowl. Pandya's exclusion might pave the way for Ishan Kishan in the Playing XI which could open the space for an extra spinner in Ravichandran Ashwin.
