Ahmed Shahzad, who is called Virat Kohli of Pakistan, has given an absurd statement about the Indian team. Shahzad has said that there is a dearth of good bowlers in the Indian team, while at present the number one bowler in Tests Ravichandran Ashwin, and second in ODI rankings Mohammad Siraj are from India. India's Ravindra Jadeja and Jasprit Bumrah are also in the top 10 in the Test rankings.
Ahmed Shehzad said in Nadir Ali's podcast that India has bowlers like Ravichandran Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, and Ravindra Jadeja, but in his opinion, they are not dangerous. He drew comparisons with the Pakistan team which has historically produced world-class fast bowlers. He said that India has been able to produce great batsmen over the years and the batsmen have got a lot of support from the team management.
Shahzad said about the Indian bowlers, "There is no disrespect to them. But there is no such dangerous bowler from India, whom the opposition batsmen are afraid to face. They have good bowlers like Bumrah, Jadeja, and Ashwin, but like him, There are no dangerous bowlers. Batsmen are dangerous."
When asked about the most dangerous bowler he has faced, Shehzad picked legendary fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar and recalled his experiences facing Akhtar in the nets. He spoke about how disciplined Akhtar's bowling was and how he ensured that no batsman ever got injured. Shahzad said "I can't remember any other bowler except Shoaib Akhtar. When I was new in the team, it was already Shoaib Akhtar. So I took six-eight deliveries against Akhtar with the old reverse-swinging ball." balls faced."
He said, "He had two great qualities. First, he never bowled a no-ball in the nets. Second, he never bowled unnecessary bouncers to the batsmen in the nets. He knew the batsman would get hurt."
How is Shahzad's record against India?
Ahmed Shehzad may have said that the Indian bowlers are not dangerous, but Shehzad's record against India tells a different story. Shahzad has played seven innings against the Indian team, but could not even score a half-century. In seven innings against India, he has scored 184 runs at a modest average of 26.28. His biggest score has been 47 runs. Shahzad hasn't played any Test matches against India but has a strike rate of 83.63 in T20 and ODI innings. Shahzad, who scored only 184 runs against India, has scored more than five thousand runs in international cricket.
