Xtra Time Web Desk: Pakistan left arm pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi, whose magic first spell turned out to be a game-changer, said that he had worked hard on bringing the ball back into the right-handers, which paid rich dividends against India in their T20 World Cup opener.
Afridi rattled the Indian batting by getting rid of the top order batters in Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul. His bowling figures were 3/31 in Pakistan’s 10 wicket win over India at Dubai International Stadium on Sunday.
“It is the good wishes of my parents and all Pakistanis. Very happy with my performance. The plan was to bring the ball back in. I was just trying to swing it and I was just looking to give the team a breakthrough,” Shaheen said at the post-match presentation.
He said that before the game, he had worked on that skill at the nets.
“That was what I practised in the nets as well yesterday. Batting against the new ball was tough.”
He also gave a lot of credit to Babar Azam and Mohammed Rizwan for the manner in which they batted.
“The credit goes to Babar and Rizwan for the way they played. All teams are good in the tournament and we will look to carry this momentum through and go to the finals,” Shaheen added.
