Asia Cup: Task Cut Out For Rohit, Gill And Kohli vs Pakistan's Pace Trio

Indian captain Rohit Sharma is gearing up to face the formidable Pakistani pace attack, consisting of Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah, and Haris Rauf, in their upcoming match on Saturday. These talented bowlers have consistently put pressure on the Indian top order in recent encounters. Whether it was Afridi's impressive performance in Dubai, where he dismantled the defenses of Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul, or Rauf and Naseem's dismissals of Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, and Suryakumar Yadav in Melbourne, India has found themselves vulnerable during the powerplay.

As the much-anticipated clash in Kandy draws near, Rohit Sharma was asked about his team's preparation to counter the menacing Pakistani pace attack. In his characteristic style, Rohit responded with one of his trademark punchlines.

“We don’t have Shaheen, Naseem or Rauf to face in the nets. We prepare with the ones we have. They’re quality bowlers. All three of them and have been performing together for quite some time now. Pakistan have always had quality bowlers," Indian skipper said.
