The whole world is watching the match between India and Pakistan. Team India captain Rohit Sharma said a day before the match that his batsmen will have to rely on their experience to face Pakistan’s powerful fast bowling trio in the high-voltage Asia Cup clash on Saturday. It will be an interesting battle as the Indian batting order led by Rohit and Virat Kohli take on capable bowlers like Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium here. Shaheen has devastated the Indian top order in the T20 format.
Before the match, Rohit said about Pakistan’s pace attack, ‘Shaheen, Naseem and Rauf don’t give us batting practice in net sessions. We practice with the bowlers we have. They are all skilled bowlers. We just have to use our experience against them. Even after the start of the tournament, the Indian team is going through some fitness issues. Lokesh Rahul is not available for selection while Jasprit Bumrah, the famous Krishna and Shreyas Iyer She is returning to the ODI team after a long time.
When Rohit was asked about the team’s fitness, he said, ‘This (Asia Cup 2023) is not a fitness test by any means. The tournament is played between the top six teams in Asia. It is a huge tournament. He said, ‘Fitness test, fitness camp’, all this was done in Bengaluru. Now, we have to go ahead and face our opponent and see what we can achieve in this (tournament).
No extra pressure, but an India vs Pakistan match… What did Babar say?
India will enter the field with their entire team after a long time. However, the team will miss players like Rahul and Rishabh Pant. Rohit said that it is good to have many players in the selection for important tournaments. “I’d rather have this type of headache than not have a headache of choice,” he said. It’s always good to have a great group of players to choose from in a tournament like this. The Indian captain said, ‘It will be a very challenging task for us to select the playing eleven. However, I want to make sure that we don’t have any injury worries and that will be a good sign for us going forward.
PAK will arrive here… Rohit says 5 big things before the match
Rohit did not reveal much about India’s combination for the match against Pakistan. He said that the team will address the deficiencies in each department before the match. He said, ‘See, there is an option for all kinds of combinations. We watched the Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka match. A little swing, a little spinning, everything was visible in it. He said, ‘It is always challenging for batsmen. Our batsmen do not lack experience. I will let that experience come and play accordingly.
