During the conversation, Rashid mentioned that it is challenging to bowl to both Virat and Babar since both hitters are extremely patient and don’t allow any loose delivery to pass them by.
The next iteration of the Asia Cup is drawing near, and the anticipation among fans is only becoming stronger with each passing day. The tournament will begin on Saturday with Sri Lanka playing Afghanistan. However, the high-stakes encounter between India and Pakistan, which will take place on Sunday, will be the primary centre of attention.
India and Pakistan are bitter rivals. Virat Kohli, a star batter for India who was rested for the tours of the West Indies and Zimbabwe, will make his comeback for the heavyweight matchup. The attention will also be directed toward Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan, who has been in outstanding form with the bat across all formats.
Rashid Khan, a talisman for Afghanistan, interacted with Pakistani journalist Sawera Pasha on her YouTube channel prior to the start of the Asia Cup. During their conversation, Rashid Khan responded to a number of questions.
During the conversation, Rashid mentioned that it is challenging to bowl to both Virat and Babar since both hitters are extremely patient and don’t allow any loose delivery to pass them by.
“Both (Virat and Babar) are really difficult to bowl to in my opinion. Because of the type of hitters they are, they won’t be able to overlook a poor delivery. I find that it is difficult to bowl to either target, but I do it because I appreciate a good challenge. There is no way that I could ever bowl a loose ball to each of them at the same time. I’m going to concentrate on bowling in the correct locations, because bought are notoriously difficult to bowl at “Rashid stated.
In addition, Rashid mentioned that over the course of his career, he has improved his game by bowling to batsmen of the calibre of Virat Kohli, Babar, and Kane Williamson.
“Bowling to Babar and Virat is not only enjoyable for me, but it has also provided me with a wonderful learning curve. For instance, after we finished our games of bowling against each other at SRH, Kane Williamson and I would have lengthy conversations regarding my bowling. Therefore, his output was really helpful to me. During the Indian Premier League, I also had conversations with Virat, and the same is true with Babar “he continued.
