Shaheen Shah Afridi’s exclusion from Pakistan’s Asia Cup 2022 squad is the biggest flex for some Asian batters. The left-arm pacer was ruled out following the knee injury he suffered during last month’s Test versus Sri Lanka. He has not fully yet recovered and, consequently, ruled out of the upcoming Asia Cup.
The shocking news and a big blow, on the one hand, has shattered the hearts of Pakistan Cricket fans. On the other hand, many are trolling the Indian batters’ struggles against Pakistan’s left-armed bowlers. Reviewing the history, the Indian top-order has always struggled to cope with Pakistani left-armed bowlers.
The examples from Champions Trophy 2017 final, and the T20 World Cup 2021 Super 12 match between India and Pakistan are good enough to quote. Notably, Shaheen’s LBW removed Indian batter Rohit Sharma on his first ball, including KL Rahul, who could manage only three runs.
Pakistan Cricket fans share their sense of humour on social media calling Rohit Sharma the happiest man on Earth since he will no more face Afridi in the Asia Cup 2022. Here are a few Tweets:

It must be noted Pak vs Ind might happen throughout the Asia Cup 2022. They are first scheduled to rival on 28th August. If the two teams qualify for the Super four, they might again encounter each other. Next, if India and Pakistan are the top two by the end of Super 12, they will combat in Asia Cup 2022 final scheduled for September 11th.
