Shahid Afridi Uses Suryakumar Yadav’s Example, Asks Mohammad Rizwan To Practice Shots To Be More Effective In T20s

The ICC T20 World Cup has reached the semi-finals and all eyes are on the cannons that will fire in the knockout stages. For India, the people of this moment are Suryakumar Yadav as the 4th player’s ability to hit hits to all parts of the ground with very high strike speed has been a key differentiator for the team. Surya has received praise from all quarters, including former Pakistani cricketers. With Pakistan also in the semi-finals and their opener struggling to run in the tournament, the former captain Shahid Afridi had a piece of advice for Mohammad Rizwan, who was often criticized for his low hit rate.

In one discussion on Samaa TV, the anchor told Afridi that once a reporter asked Rizwan if he was willing to make changes to his play so that opposing pitchers could not devise plans against him. or not and the Pakistani goalkeeper hitter has said that he will continue to play the way he does. The anchor goes on to give the example of Suryakumar Yadav and asks if Rizwan should take a leaf out of the book of the Indians.

Afridi responded: “The most important thing about Suryakumar is that he played 200-250 domestic matches before going to international cricket. He knows his game well. And he can aim for good balls. because he practiced those shots. In this format you need to grow as a hitter and develop your game.”

Speaking about Rizwan and his efforts, Afridi pointed out that Pakistan’s opener will have to take risks and play shots from outside and so he needs to practice those shots.

“We discussed this that every team does their homework before going to the World Cup. As for Rizwan, they had a plan not to put him in the middle because he played well on shots. Shot straight to square foot and center.He struggled to get to the sideline.

“He’s going to have to go down the track and take risks. He’s going to have to create spaces in the middle and the side and for this he’s going to have to practice these shots,” Afridi said.
