Asia Cup 2023 started with Pakistan’s victory. After registering a historic 238-run win against Nepal, now Pakistan will play its next match against the Indian team in this tournament. On the other hand, the Indian team will make its debut in this tournament with the match played against Pakistan. Due to which there is a lot of excitement and enthusiasm among the fans regarding this match.
When these two teams will be face to face against each other, the echo of the noise on the field will be heard far and wide. Not only India and Pakistan, but the eyes of the whole world will be focused on this match. The reason for which is that there is more than one player in both the teams. Due to which a lot of excitement is also going to be seen in tomorrow’s match.
Before this match, Star Sports shared a video. In which the players of both the teams were seen sweating profusely during the practice session before the match. During this, a scene was also seen when Indian team’s veteran player Virat Kohli and Pakistan team’s fast bowler Haris Rauf hugged each other and then there was a long conversation between these two players.
During this practice session, when Shahin Afridi was practicing bowling, on the other hand, Indian team coach Rahul Dravid and captain Rohit Sharma were seen staring at him. Seeing Shahid Afridi in this way shows that the Indian team is completely serious about dangerous bowling to Shahid Afridi. Virat Kohli himself has also said many times before this match that he is practicing especially against left arm pacers. This fear about the tall Shahin Afridi is also due to the fact that Shahin Afridi is the Pakistani player, because of whom India had to face defeat at the hands of Pakistan for the first time in the World Cup history.
In the T20 World Cup played in the year 2021, Afridi had pushed the Indian players on the backfoot with his brilliant bowling. Not only this, Shaheen Afridi also bowled brilliantly against Nepal in the very first match of the Asia Cup 2023 tournament. Afridi took two important wickets in this match while conceding 27 runs in 5 overs. The special thing is that Afridi took both these wickets in his very first over. In such a situation, Afridi’s lethal bowling with the barber ball shows that the top 3 players of the Indian team need to be especially careful against Afridi.
During this practice session, Indian team’s brilliant bowler Jasprit Bumrah was also seen bowling. Bumrah’s return to the field is a good sign for the Indian team. When the Yorker King comes to play in tomorrow’s match, the tension of the death overs of the Indian team will end. At the end of the video of this practice session, it was seen that both the teams were seen talking with their coaches about the preparation, strategy and outline of tomorrow’s match.
