Pakistan’s batting approach in big matches against India has long been a topic of debate.
Critics have often pointed out that the team lacks intent and aggression in pressure situations, which has contributed to several disappointing results over the years.
Hasan’s bold statement appears to have resonated deeply with fans who have been calling for a change in mentality.
The young batter has made a name for himself as an explosive lower-order finisher with an impressive strike rate in domestic cricket and the Pakistan Super League.
In the current PSL season, he has scored 291 runs for Quetta Gladiators, including two half-centuries, cementing his reputation as a dangerous hitter.

Hasan made his Pakistan T20I debut in 2025 but has since found himself outside the national squad.
Many of his supporters feel he has not been given the backing he deserves and are hopeful that selectors will recognize his potential and develop him as a long-term asset for Pakistan cricket.
