Shastri made his feedback age commentating all through the Republic of India-Pakistan fit in Ahmedabad on October 14.
“He is a good bowler, he can claim a wicket with the new ball.
But you have to admit it, if Naseem Shah is not playing and the quality of Pakistan’s spin bowling is like this, then Shaheen Shah Afridi koi Wasim Akram nai hai! Acche bowler hai. Lekin itna bhi jyaada chadane ka koi zaroorat nahi hai. Jab hai theek thak, toh bolna chahiye woh theek thaak hai. Chadha ke nahin bithana chahiye ki bohot zabardast hai. Yeh nahi hai! Yeh maan na padega. (Shaheen Afridi may be a skilled bowler, but it’s essential not to exaggerate his abilities by comparing him to Wasim Akram. While he is undoubtedly a good player, it’s important to limit our praise to acknowledging his proficiency. He may not reach the status of a great player, and we must acknowledge that fact),” Shastri stated.
Reacting to Shastri’s observation, Akram stated Shaheen is without doubt one of the easiest pacers presently and the previous Republic of India participant is a great pal of his and he’s entitled to have his personal opinion.
“I read about it. Ravi is a good friend of mine, that’s his opinion. If you want to draw comparisons with any top bowlers of the world, Shaheen is one of the best right now,” Akram stated all through the dialogue on A Sports activities.

The left-arm pacer Shaheen has no longer been at his easiest since coming back from a knee trauma and did not create any have an effect on within the Global Cup thus far. Then again, he claimed a five-wicket haul in opposition to Australia in Bengaluru.
“He may be out of touch, low on confidence but he will make a comeback. He is young. He gets his rhythm back when he plays Test cricket, he starts taking wickets. He is on the right track,” Akram added.
