In today's powerplay versus India, Shaheen Shah Afridi's bowling was on perfection. He was able to take advantage of the very flaw that analysts have been pointing out in Rohit Sharma's batting. If he has a flaw, it is with the ball that pitches and nips back into him. It invites more and more difficulties as it becomes longer. Shaheen delivered a yorker.
It was the first ball he faced, and Shaheen managed to pitch it up and get his leg before wicket. In his following over, he grabbed the wicket of KL Rahul.His bowling may have been the reason Pakistan had a say in the opening five overs of the game and India never really recovered.
Kohli’s strange reaction while answering the question
After the match, a journalist questioned Indian captain Virat Kohli if he thought it was necessary to put Ishan Kishan at the top of the order considering his recent form. He even mentioned dropping or leaving Rohit out of the starting XI before of this game. Kohli, on the other hand, read the situation and responded perfectly, yet his expression was largely filled with shock and amazement at what the journalist had stated.
Kohli burst up laughing after a brief pause and exclaimed, "Unbelievable." Sir, if you want controversy, tell me before so that I can answer accordingly.” Kohli had a broad smile on his face, but the journalist's inquiry had undoubtedly taken him by surprise. 'Kohli versus Journalists at the Presser,' however, became another great chapter in the book as a result of this.
