Pakistan men’s team coach Mike Hesson has questioned the way his team is judged mainly on their results against India, saying that no team in world cricket has found a consistent answer to the current Indian team.Speaking to Cricinfo, Hesson said that Pakistan’s progress should not be measured only by matches against India. The former New Zealand coach, who took charge of Pakistan’s white-ball teams in 2025, acknowledged India’s current position at the top of world cricket and said Pakistan is not the only side struggling against them.The two teams have not played a bilateral series for over a decade due to political reasons. They now only meet in multi-nation tournaments, where India have dominated 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 the Asia Cup last year, for example, we won every match except against India,” Hesson told Cricinfo. “The reality is that every 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 how they perform against India. And at the moment, India are not just the best team; they are the best team by a mile,” he said. “At the T20 World Cup, we lost to England in the Super 8 on the back of a Harry Brook hundred and a very tight game out of it. [other] game except India,” I said.The Pakistan coach also pointed to the team’s improvement over last year, saying the results show they are moving in the right direction.“From 2023 to 2025, we didn’t make it out of the pool in the ICC events. So you can’t go from eighth in the world to a competition suddenly, unless you start winning more regular cricket matches. And for us to go from winning 20-odd percent to close to three quarters of our games in a year.”
