T20 world cup 2024: Pakistani fast bowler shaheen Afridi has improved his performance a lot after taking classes from Mohammad Shami. Afridi is in a very tremendous rhythm at the moment.
T20 world cup 2024: The first batch of the indian team left for the USA a few days ago for the t20 world cup 2024. Under the captaincy of rohit sharma, india would like to end the title drought that has been going on for 17 years. Let us tell you that when india and pakistan were about to face each other in the 2022 world cup, shaheen Shah Afridi was seen learning the tricks of bowling from Mohammad shami before the match. This old video of his has once again become a topic of discussion on social media these days. Let us tell you that rohit sharma has often been seen getting trapped against Pakistani left-arm fast bowlers and the class taken from mohammed shami can once again help him to get rohit sharma out.
It is worth noting that shaheen Afridi's bowling has improved after the class taken by Mohammed Shami. After the match against india in 2022, Afridi has taken 44 wickets in 24 t20 matches, in which his economy rate has also been excellent. On the other hand, if we talk about the t20 matches played only in 2024, Afridi has taken 27 wickets in just 13 matches. This deadly form of his can make the opposition teams run away in the upcoming World Cup. Afridi is the same bowler who had deceived rohit sharma with his in-swing bowling in the 2023 ODI cricket World Cup. His incoming ball for the right-handed batsman can once again beat the Hitman.

Shaheen Afridi has been playing the role of the main fast bowler for pakistan for the last several years. He has played only 2 t20 matches against india so far, in which he has taken 3 wickets. Afridi has played four ODI matches against the indian team so far, in which he has taken 7 wickets. He has also taken the wicket of virat kohli twice so far.
