Srinagar: Team India skipper Rohit Sharma has termed Australian pacer Mitchell Star and Pakistan superstar pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi as major threat with the new ball.
ICC posted an Instagram reel featuring Rohit Sharma on Sunday, August 13. The Indian team captain, who has been rested for the ongoing T20I series against West Indies, was asked to pick between various things.
The Instagram challenge put Sharma in a spot as he was first asked to choose between India’s 1983 and 2011 World Cup wins.
“It’s a tough one, honestly. I would prefer both actually,” Rohit replied.
The next question featured two of the world’s best left-arm fast bowlers – Australia’s Mitchell Starc and Pakistan’s Shaheen Afridi. When asked to choose between them, Sharma answered:
“None. Both are quality, quite threatening with the new ball, can swing the ball quite fast. So I would say none.”
The following question was to choose one between a cover drive and a pull shot. Unsurprisingly, Sharma picked the pull shot.
ICC’s next question to Rohit Sharma was to pick between Ishan Kishan and Yuzvendra Chahal as the person he would prefer to have next to him on the team bus.
“None because before I go to the game, I want calm, I want peace, and none of these guys bring any of those, so none.”
