According to him, Team India would go from strength to strength after their maiden series win in Pakistan. "They look in strong shape and this current team will rise further as their players are performing and have the knack of handling pressure well. I can't say that this is the best Indian team ever but it has shown remarkable qualities and can be compared to India's all-time best teams," The News quoted Khan as saying on Saturday. He added: "India fought well throughout the tour and the 19-year-old Parthiv Patel's innings in the third Test displayed their fighting abilities." Praising the Indian bowling attack, Imran termed it "fast-maturing". He said: "Compared to Pakistani attack no one had rated them as outstanding but they performed more than their level while our bowlers failed because no one was there to take the input." The 1992 World Cup winning Pakistani captain said that the Pakistani management needed to look into several areas to lift their cricket. "Pakistan cricket officials need to ask several questions from themselves after this defeat, the structure needs to be overhauled and the vacuums left by some leading players need to be filled," said Imran. "We had two match winners in Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Sami but the bowling resources could have been utilised better than this. We have a batsman captain, a batsman coach and a batsman manager, so when things go wrong they don't have the plan B," Khan concluded.
