Not long ago, Shadab Khan from Pakistan gave an Indian batsman a special mention when he was asked to name the ‘most difficult batsman to bowl to' in world cricket. Shadab, who is Babar Azam's deputy at the ICC World Cup 2023, had the same name in mind when the star all-rounder picked the batsman to watch out for in the upcoming showpiece event.
The Pakistani spinner also gave special mention to Kuldeep Yadav. While talking to a news agency, he said, "I admire Rohit Sharma a lot, and among the leading batsmen in the world, he is the most difficult to bowl to. Once he gets set, he becomes very dangerous. Among the bowlers, since I am a leg spinner, it will be Kuldeep Yadav given his recent form.”
While talking about the Asia Cup 2023, he said, “The Asia Cup didn't go well, but that's the beauty of cricket: you learn from your mistakes, and there is always an opportunity to learn and play good cricket. After we lost the Asia Cup, we got good rest, and I believe it's no longer a skill game but a mental game, and it's the World Cup situation. You can take good decisions when you are relaxed mentally.”
On Tuesday, Pakistan will face Australia in its final practice game at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
