The veteran Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin thinks it will be difficult to defeat Pakistan in both the current Asia Cup and the upcoming ODI World Cup, which will start on October 5 in Ahmedabad. Babar Azam’s team just defeated Afghanistan 3-0 in an ODI series, and as a result, they are currently ranked as the world’s best team, demonstrating the talent that the Men in Green have.
Ashwin praised them for being outstanding in white-ball cricket and said the side could be very dangerous if Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan can maintain their level of play over the next three months. He continued by saying that the squad’s vast depth will be beneficial to the team going forward.
“Pakistan will have a great team going into this Asia Cup and the World Cup if Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan continuously provide performances with the bat. Pakistan has an amazing team, thus it will be difficult to defeat them. It all depends on how deep their (Pakistan’s) squad is. “Pakistan has consistently produced outstanding cricketers,” Ashwin wrote on his YouTube account.
They have consistently produced a remarkable line of pacers: Ashwin
The 36-year-old went on to say that Pakistan has consistently produced top-notch pacers because the nation is well-known for its tape-ball game.
Currently, players like Haris Rauf and Shaheen Shah Afridi are in amazing form, and Ashwin eventually agreed that their batting has also significantly improved recently.
“They have always produced an amazing number of pacers thanks to its tape-ball cricket. Additionally, during the late 1990s and early 2000s, their batting was superior. But their exposure to different (T20) competitions has been the main factor in their comeback during the past five or six years. The PSL is also available. Additionally, at least 60 to 70 Pakistani players were selected in the most recent BBL drafts, he added.
