Indian Batsmen against Pakistan

As is the general assumption, the poor batting of the Indians against
the strong Pakistani bowling attack is usually the main cause of the
Indian debacles. Well, how correct is it?
In order to validate this claim, let us look into the present Indian
team's run slabs against Pakistan in LOI matches. The following table
shows the details. As can be seen, Tendulkar has scored less than 10
runs against Pakistan 13 times, Azhar 18 times, Dravid 9 times, Jadeja
10 times and Ganguly thrice.
Well, make up your own mind!
(0 = 0 to 9, 10 = 10 to 19 and so on).
