Before their Asia Cup match against India, Karthik calls the Pakistani pacer “One of the Better White-Ball Bowlers in the World”

The Asia Cup 2023 match between India and Pakistan is scheduled to take place next month, and the supporters cannot wait. The two will meet for the first time since the thrilling match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) last time, which included a brilliant performance from Virat Kohli against players like Haris Rauf and others. When the teams hit the field at the Pallekele International Stadium, the spectators can anticipate the same level of fervor from both teams.

The Pakistani players are playing franchise cricket all over the globe while the Indian squad is presently touring the West Indies. Dinesh Karthik, a seasoned wicketkeeper-batter, is now in England for broadcasting responsibilities for The Hundred, and he was really pleased with Pakistan bowler Haris’ performance. Against the Southern Braves, the right-arm fast took three wickets for his club, Welsh Fire.

Karthik was a member of the Indian side that won the T20 World Cup last year by defeating Pakistan. Karthik praised the Pakistani quick in an interview with Sky Sports, calling Haris “one of the better white ball bowlers” in the world.

He was playing tennis ball cricket a few years ago. Obtains a contract with the Qalandars, joins their squad and academy, plays in the league, and then presumably goes on to achieve such success for Pakistan. He is perhaps one of the best white ball bowlers playing right now in international cricket, particularly in the end, according to Karthik.

For Indian batsmen, Pakistani pacers’ impressive results in the lead-up to the Asia Cup are undoubtedly cause for concern. The Pakistani assault has caused problems for the Indian batting lineup, particularly the top order. Along with Rauf, Shaheen Shah Afridi has garnered attention for his ability to take wickets in the first over of the current Hundred in England.

Stuart Broad, who just announced his retirement from Test cricket, praised Afridi and dubbed him one of the world’s best bowlers.

“One of my all-time favorite bowlers to watch is Shaheen Shah Afridi. He has such presence when he runs in, and I like seeing bowlers enter the lane with life and vitality in their run-up. He has such a natural talent; it’s really enjoyable to see the ball swing back into the right-handers, Broad remarked on Sky Sports.
