Asia Cup: You Would Expect A 65-70 Run Power-play Most Of The Time, Says Abhinav Mukund On Indian Openers' Approach
Ever since Shaheen Shah Afridi rattled the Indian batting line-up with a deadly spell of 4-35 at Pallekele last week, all the talk ahead of the Super Four clash was around how the Rohit Sharma-led side will face up the challenge from the premier left-arm pacer.
On Sunday, at the R. Premadasa Stadium, Rohit Sharma set the tone for ratting Pakistan, especially Afridi, by flicking him over square leg for a six on the last ball of the opening over.
