New Delhi: Asia Cup bugle has sounded. In the second match of the tournament, there will be a clash between India and Pakistan. When Rohit’s platoon collides with Babar’s army, then there will definitely be a previous match in his mind, where Shaheen Shah Afridi had wreaked havoc on Team India. Now the Asia Cup is also being held on UAE soil, where both the teams clashed in the World T20. Former Pakistani leg-spinner Danish Kaneria has given some tips to Rohit-Virat to deal with Shaheen Shah.

shots played close to the body
Kaneria said on his YouTube channel, ‘There is no need to fear Shaheen Afridi because Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are world class batsmen. All they need to keep in mind is that Shaheen Fuller will bowl and the ball will swing, so they should be prepared for that. If both do not give up the footwork and play the bat close to the body, then it will be done. Suryakumar Yadav’s flick shot at square leg will also be crucial against Shaheen’s bowling.

Shaheen was very upset
Left-arm fast bowlers have often troubled the Indian batsmen. Trent Boult in the 2019 World Cup, Shaheen Afridi bowling the deciding spell against India in the 2021 T20 World Cup.
