Inzamam-ul-Haq said Pakistan could have avoided defeat to India in the second Test even without a first-innings lead.
The tourists lost their eight wickets for 112 runs on day three after Yousuf Youhana and Younis made centuries.
"The first turning point was not getting a good lead in the first innings," said Inzamam.
"Then we lost a wicket off the first ball on the fifth day. Had any two batsmen batted for a full session we could have saved the Test."
Inzamam was also critical of his bowlers, in particular slow bowlers Danish Kaneria, who took six wickets, and Shahid Afridi, who failed to add to the three he took in the first innings.
"We played with three pacers and two spinners. I am quite satisfied with the way the pacers bowled. But the spinners have disappointed me," he said.
The batsman also highlighted Rahul Dravid's importance to India after he scored centuries in both innings, saying: "Dravid is playing outstandingly during last two-three years.
"Going by his average, I think he is one of the best Test players in the world."
Despite India's dominance, though, Inzamam still feels Pakistan can level the series in the third and final Test at Bangalore, which starts on Thursday.
"The boys are in form, but the effort is not combined. If it is combined, hopefully we can change the result," he added.
