Srinagar: India batter turned commentator Dinesh Karthik has termed Pakistan current pace attack as more potent than India current pace attack.
Karthik said that Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf are better than India’s Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj and Mohammad Shami on flat decks.
“Shaheen, Haris Rauf and Naseem can bowl 90+ consistently and all three are very different in nature,” said on Cricbuzz.
“Shaheen Shah obviously the left-armer, has an angle to it and brings the ball back in, Naseem Shah swings the ball both ways, Haris is arguably one of the best bowlers right now at the back end of an inning because of his skid and the nasty bouncer that he’s got,” he added.
Karthik suggested being a batter he would prefer to face Indian bowling attack comprising Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Mohammad Shami on flat wickets, rather than the Pakistan trio.
“For me they are a far more potent attack on flat wickets,” he said.
“If there is something in the pitch then both attacks at all times become very equal but if I had to play an attack I have a feeling, I have a better chance of probably playing Jasprit, Bumrah, Siraj and Shami only because the bounce they’ll get will be slightly lesser than what these three other bowlers can do from Pakistan,” he further added.
