Highlights
Rohit Sharma batted brilliantly in practice.
There will be a great match between India and Pakistan on September 2.
New Delhi. Only 4 days left for Asia Cup 2023 to start. Surely the Indian team will start the tournament with a third dose of excitement. Because on September 2, Team India will face arch rival Pakistan. For this, on the one hand, the Pakistan team is showing its strength in the ODI series against Afghanistan in Sri Lanka. On the other hand, Indian players are sweating a lot for this great match in the nets.
Pakistan team is ready to face India, be it batting or bowling. The bowlers of Babar Azam’s team are seen raining fireballs on the opponents. The biggest example of this has been the ODI series between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Shaheen Afridi, the team’s top fast bowler, has looked more lethal in the past few months. Here Team India captain Rohit Sharma has sweated a lot to face Shaheen Afridi. Now it remains to be seen which player wins this battle.
Rohit Sharma used to practice for hours in the nets
Captain Rohit Sharma has practiced for hours in the nets against the left-arm fast bowler. Some of his pictures have also surfaced. Shaheen Afridi is also a left-arm fast bowler and creates a wall in front of right-arm batsmen with his fiery delivery. It can be estimated from the batting of Rohit Sharma that this time he can challenge Shaheen Afridi.
Asia Cup: Jasprit Bumrah will be the trump card or Jadeja’s magic will work, who will bite in Lanka?
Pakistani fast bowlers showed stars to Afghanistan
Before the Asia Cup, Pakistani bowlers showed their attitude against Afghanistan. The team’s fast bowlers wreaked havoc as soon as they came into the first ODI. Afghanistan’s batsmen fell prey to stars like Haris Rauf and Shaheen Afridi. The entire team was bundled out for just 51 runs. Haris Rauf opened the wicket while Shaheen sent two batsmen to the pavilion early to get the team off to a flying start. Shaheen’s magic worked in the second ODI as well and he once again took 2 catches.
