There are only 13 days left for the India-Pakistan great match in the Asia Cup. It is being seen as a Kohli-Babar rivalry. In this match to be held in Dubai on August 28, Team India will go down to avenge the crushing defeat in the T20 World Cup last year, but some players from Pakistan can spoil the intentions of the Indian team. So let's know about those 4 Pakistani cricketers who can change the course of any match on their own.
1. Babar Azam
Pakistan captain Babar Azam can make a big difference in the match against India with his bat. He is currently the world's No. 1 batsman in T20 and ODI cricket. Talking about 2021, Babar has scored 939 runs at a strike rate of 127.58. One century and 9 half-centuries have come with his bat.
At the same time, this player played the only T20 match against India and in this match, his bat scored 68 runs. His strike rate against India is 130.76. Indian bowlers will have to send this player to the pavilion as soon as possible.
2. Shaheen Afridi
After captain Babar Azam, the second major concern of Team India is Shaheen Afridi. This young bowler can take wickets with the new ball. In the World Cup 2021, Afridi destroyed the top order of Team India by taking the wickets of openers KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kohli.
The 22-year-old Afridi is the number two bowler in the world in Test and ODI rankings. However, his name is not in the top-10 bowlers of T20. Indian batsmen have been struggling continuously for the last few years against the left-arm fast bowlers. In such a situation, it can be difficult for Indian batsmen to get past Shaheen.
3. Mohammad Rizwan
30-year-old Mohammad Rizwan, one of the world's top-3 batsmen in the T20 format, shared a 152-run partnership with Babar Azam against India in the T20 World Cup. Even brilliant bowlers like Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, and Ravindra Jadeja could not break this partnership. On the Dubai ground, Rizwan scored an unbeaten 79 off 55 balls at a strike rate of 143.64.
Rizwan scored 1326 runs in 26 innings in T20 cricket last year at an average of 73.66 and became the highest run-scorer in a year. Not only this, Rizwan can handle the innings and change the run pace at any time which makes him dangerous.
4. Fakhar Zaman
Left-handed batsman Fakhar Zaman can also create problems for India. Five years ago, Fakhar Zaman scored a century against India in the final of the Champions Trophy and contributed a lot to Pakistan's score of 338 runs. Team India had to face defeat in this match.
The 32-year-old beliefs in playing grounded shots. Last year, 415 runs have come from his bat. These include three half-centuries. Pakistan's top-3 players are considered a threat to bowlers around the world. Indian bowlers have to get him out soon.
