Melbourne: Shaheen Shah Afridi is one of the world’s premier white ball bowlers and the Indian batters need to try and play him “straight” even if they are attacking the talented Pakistani left-arm pacer, said legendary Sachin Tendulkar.
At his peak, Tendulkar played a lot of limited overs cricket against Wasim Akram, perhaps the greatest left-arm fast bowler of all time and the maestro did share his observations with PTI during a chat.
Asked what he would have done had he faced a bowler of Shaheen’s calibre during his playing days, Tendulkar laughed and said: “I have not put my mind as such since I know I won’t be facing him.” But then on a serious note, he shared his point of view.
