Shahid Afridi the former celebrated Pakistani allrounder has issued a significant statement before the T20 World Cup encounter on 23rd October 2022 between India and Pakistan. Afridi claimed that Pakistan has changed its approach nowadays and can very well win against India in the World Cup clash.
Before the last T20 World Cup Pakistan had never defeated India in a World Cup encounter. Afridi believes that it was made possible due to Babar Azam led side developing a new approach towards India.
Shahid Afridi issued this statement on Samaa TV a Pakistani TV channel. He said, “Agar aap India ke team ko uthake dekhe, pichle kuch aarse main, Dhoni ke daur me agar aap dekhe toh unhone aapni approach ko change kardiya. Unhone Pakistan team ko…woh joh Pakistan-India hota tha woh khatam kardiya tha. Kyunki woh continuous jeetein jaa rahein the. Unhone soch badli apne, unhone Australia, England, South Africa…uss level pe unke jo top batsmen the unhone unke saath muqabla karna shuru kardiya tha. Unhone Pakistan ko, sorry to say, side main rakh diya tha.”
He then added, “Par aab woh cheez wapas aa rahein hain and of course wapas ayegi. Approach bohot important he to decide aap apne aap ko kis level me rakhna chahatein hain.”
Afridi’s statement is getting widely shared on social media. Whether it holds merit will come to light in the India vs Pakistan clash on 23rd October 2022.
