Pep talks do not win games, says Imran Khan

Kolkata: Pakistan’s legendary captain Imran Khan on Sunday was critical of current team’s tendency to wilt under pressure stating that Shahid Afridi’s boys need to learn about playing under pressure and no amount of pep talk can lift their game.

Imran Khan met the Pakistan players on Saturday morning before the match against India and spoke to the players. “I always try and help the Pakistan team in the best way I can. They need to understand how to play under pressure. One part of game is in the mind and the other part is played on the ground. So you need to implement this while playing. You can’t win matches by (pep) talks. The team has to perform and that’s the only way you can win,” said the World Cup winning Pakistan captain.
