**News Article: Ex-Cricketer Warns India of Pakistan’s Unexpected Spin Threat Ahead of Clash**
**Dubai, UAE** – Just ahead of their highly anticipated clash, former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has issued a warning to the Indian team, highlighting the unexpected threat posed by Pakistan’s spin-heavy attack. While Pakistan is traditionally known for its pace bowling, Manjrekar believes that the spin-friendly conditions in the UAE have prompted a tactical shift, making it a significant challenge for the Indian batsmen.
“India needs to be wary of Pakistan’s heavy spin attack,” Manjrekar said, speaking on Sony Sports Network. “This is going to be Suryakumar’s [Yadav] biggest challenge.”
Manjrekar emphasized that this unconventional approach could force the Indian batting lineup to rethink their strategies. “India and Pakistan have played in big tournaments before, but this time Pakistan’s bowling is completely different. It looks like there are hardly any fast bowlers.”
He also praised Pakistan’s team management, particularly crediting coach Mike Hesson for effectively utilizing the available resources. “Saim Ayub has rarely bowled for Pakistan, but under Hesson, he’s bowled in almost 90 innings. This shows a new way of thinking, which is quite exciting.”
Manjrekar did note that Pakistan needs to improve their batting performance against India.
