IND vs PAK: Be careful in the first three overs of Shaheen Afridi, Rohit Sharma got Guru Gyan before the match against Pakistan
[ad_1]
Pallekele: Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has urged Pakistan pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi to be careful in the first three overs to avoid a UAE 2021 T20 World Cup-like situation. This is the belief of former Australian opener Matthew Hayden. Rohit was bowled by Afridi on an inside yorker ball in the T20 World Cup. He failed to open the account in this match. India suffered a humiliating 10-wicket defeat in this group match and the team failed to recover from the shock of the defeat in this tournament.
Hayden believes that this is the right way to deal with this tall Pakistani fast bowler. Hayden told Star Sports, ‘You have to be careful against Shaheen Afridi in the beginning. Remember the recent (T20) World Cup (in UAE in 2021). Shaheen was able to pick up wickets in the early overs. We’ll never forget that ball he bowled to Rohit Sharma, so be a little careful against that. If it is swinging, then focus on playing the first three overs.

Kohli decorated the Indian innings by scoring 57 runs in 49 balls in the match. However, the team had to face defeat by 10 wickets in this match. Told Hayden that along with Afridi, the Indian batsmen would also have to plan their batting against Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf.
Describing the clash between the two arch-rivals as one of the most exciting in world cricket, Hayden said, “India will be playing against Pakistan’s trio of fast bowlers.” It is one of the most exciting matches in cricket. Pakistan has capable bowlers like Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf and Naseem (Shah). Three very different types of bowlers and to deal with them the Indian team will have to come up with a plan’
