Speaking about his mindset while facing the India national cricket team, Nawaz acknowledged the additional pressure and motivation that comes with the fixture. However, he went on to make a statement that triggered widespread criticism, saying that he “hates all their bowlers” and expressing his intent to attack them whenever given the opportunity.
The clip gained rapid traction online, with users widely debating the tone and nature of his comments. Nawaz made these remarks while representing the Pakistan Super League franchise Quetta Gladiators, who are currently placed second-last on the points table.
In his limited international experience against India, Hasan Nawaz has faced the team only once, during the Asia Cup 2025 final. Batting in the middle order, he scored five runs off seven deliveries before being dismissed by Kuldeep Yadav. Pakistan went on to lose the match despite holding an early advantage in the second innings, marking another defeat against India and their third consecutive loss to the arch-rivals in the format.
Hasan Nawaz made his T20 International debut for the Pakistan national cricket team in 2025 against the New Zealand national cricket team. Since his debut, he has played 25 matches and scored 457 runs. He maintains an average of 20.77 and a strike rate of 154.39, reflecting his aggressive batting style in the shortest format. His international record includes two half-centuries and one century, underlining his potential as a middle-order power hitter.
The incident has once again drawn attention to on-field rivalries spilling into public discourse, especially in high-voltage fixtures between India and Pakistan.
