Harbhajan Singh, an off-spinner, has praised Afghanistan leg-spinner Rashid Khan as a “brave bowler” and a “fighter.” He acknowledged that the dynamic Afghan bowler could pose a threat to India.
On Wednesday, India will face Afghanistan in match number 33 of the T20 World Cup 2021 in Abu Dhabi. India would be eager to make an impression in the game. Against Afghanistan after going down to Pakistan and New Zealand without a fight.
Rashid Khan
“Not only Indian batters, Rashid Khan has troubled batters from other nations as well, whether it is Australia, England or another side. He would be a challenge to the Indian team. Rashid Khan is a brave bowler. He is not scared of getting hit and is capable of producing big performances. Rashid is like a warrior on the field and always goes out to win. I hope India bat well in the match.” he said
“The Indian batters must play Rashid carefully and take chances against other bowlers.” Harbhajan said
Rashid, who is 23 years old, has seven wickets in three T20 World Cup 2021 matches. With a best of 4 for 9 against Scotland.
In the two matches so far, India’s batting has been a massive disappointment. They did, however, play those games in Dubai, and Harbhajan is optimistic that the batters will perform better in Abu Dhabi.
As a result, India batted first and scored 151 for 7 against Pakistan and 110 for 7. Against New Zealand, losing both matches by 10 and 8 wickets.
