Indian batsmen were often trapped in front of left-arm fast bowlers. Left-arm bowlers with the new ball have always been difficult for the top order of the Indian team. Today, Team India will play its third match in the Asia Cup against Pakistan. Before this game, the Indian batsmen prepared themselves with special practice to deal with Shaheen Afridi.
The Indian team also played the first match of the Asia Cup against Pakistan in which Shaheen Afridi kept the Indian batsmen at bay. Shaheen had shown the way to the pavilion to the two most important Indian top-order batsmen, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Captain Rohit Sharma returned to the pavilion after scoring 11 runs and Virat Kohli after scoring just 4 runs. At the same time, Shubman Gill, the captain’s opening teammate, also looked quite helpless in front of Shaheen Afridi.
According to many media reports, Indian batsmen have changed their batting stance ahead of the match against Pakistan. Apart from this, Indian batsmen have prepared intensively to face Pakistan’s Shaheen Afridi against the left-arm delivery specialist. This time, Team India will try to leave no stone unturned to counter Pakistan’s pace attack.
It is noteworthy that the Indian team played its first match in the Asia Cup against Pakistan on Saturday, September 2. In the game, the Indian batsmen seemed completely unsuccessful against Pakistan’s pace attack. The top order collapsed very soon. Team India couldn’t even play the entire over. India were all set for 266 runs in 48.5 overs. In the match, all Indian batsmen were dismissed by Pakistan fast bowlers.
For Pakistan, Shaheen Afridi took 4 wickets after scoring 35 runs in 10 overs. Apart from this, Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf had taken 3-3 wickets on their behalf.
