Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar feels that Shaheen Shah Afridi has conquered the thoughts of Bharat batter Rohit Sharma. When Bharat and Pakistan confronted each and every alternative in an Asia Cup 2023 recreation terminating presen, Shaheen wiped clean up Rohit with a ripper. It used to be a fuller supply from the left-arm pacer that swung into the Bharat captain and went throughout the defence to rattle his stumps on the Pallekele World Cricket Stadium. Rohit used to be pushed aside for 11 runs off 22 balls.
“Yeh Rohit Sharma woh Rohit Sharma hai hi nahi. Yeh uska stunt double hai. Shaheen uske dimaag mein baith gaya hai. (This is not the same Rohit Sharma. This one’s a stunt double. Shaheen has conquered his mind). I have never seen him change his stance, but what was happening there? Stance change kara, beat hua, bowled hua (He changed his stance and got bowled). Shaheen is subconsciously in his mind. This is what pressure of India vs Pakistan match does to players,” Akhtar mentioned all over a digital press convention organised by means of Celebrity Sports activities.
The previous Pakistan pacer previous mentioned that Rohit is not able to learn or perceive the bowling of superstar pacer Shaheen.
“I think Rohit is unable to read or understand Shaheen. The visual of Rohit Sharma being beaten like this was not good, but he is a far better player than this. Rohit can bat much better than this. I think he is worrying too much,” Akhtar had mentioned on his YouTube channel.
Bharat have been bundled out for 266 runs in spite of fifties from Hardik Pandya (87) and Ishan Kishan (82). Rainfall interrupted the sport greater than a few occasions sooner than it used to be in the end referred to as off.
“The constant interruptions by rain, leading to the players going off the ground and coming back in, it affects the focus of the batters. Gill lost his wicket because of this reason, he lost his concentration, and that is why he played such a loose shot,” mentioned Akhtar.
Gill, who slightly seemed prepared on the wrinkle, used to be pushed aside for 10 runs off 32 balls at the bowling of Haris Rauf.
