Pakistan head coach Mike Hesson has called India the benchmark in white-ball cricket, admitting that Pakistan still have ground to cover. With the India-Pakistan rivalry set to continue at the Asian Games, Hesson’s comments come after a difficult period for Pakistan cricket, including their Test struggles in England and a recent coaching reshuffle. Rupha Ramani looks at Pakistan’s India benchmark, the widening white-ball gap and what Hesson’s admission means ahead of the Asian Games and T20 World Cup.
