Everybody is aware of what happenned final time Shaheen Afridi turned up in opposition to India within the final 12 months’s T20 world cup. In a blink-and-miss second, he delivered the sucker punch to India in his first over, knocking out Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul.
Sachin Tendulkar has a easy recommendation to supply to the Indian openers. Don’t play throughout the road, is his message.
“Final time in Dubai Shaheen obtained wickets within the first over itself. He’s an attacking bowler and likes to pitch it up; he’ll look to swing the ball, hold it within the stumps, full-up, hoping that the batters go throughout the road. We have to be aware of that. I’m positive the batters have considered it. They’ll look to maintain it straight upfront, after which slowly, as soon as they get an honest begin, capitalise on that,” Tendulkar instructed Hindustan Instances.
“There’s not a lot one wants to alter. I might say to not go too throughout the road,” Tendulkar mentioned.
Shaheen Afridi has spoken about how he had needed to assault Rohit Sharma’s weak spot in opposition to inswing at yorker size.
“I had noticed that Rohit Sharma struggles in opposition to in-swing at that yorker size. In 2021, most of my dismissals have been with that size,” Shaheen instructed Cricinfo. “So, I believed if that’s my power why not use it in opposition to him the primary ball I bowl to him.” In the identical over, he had knocked down Rahul’s stumps too with an inswinger from a size.
