Pakistani pace attack is a threat to Team India

Let us tell you that the Pakistani pace attack also becomes a big threat for Team India because they will enter the Asia Cup after the series of three ODIs. The body of Pakistani fast bowlers must have adapted to the ODI format as they will have match practice. On the other hand, Team India will prepare for the Asia Cup in the practice camp. His players will not have any match practice. Not only this, Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma are not seen in good form. Number 4 batsman Shreyas Iyer is back in the team after a long injury and he can play the first match directly against Pakistan. Virat Kohli will also play directly in the Asia Cup after the rest.

In such a situation, it is clear that it will not be so easy for the top 4 batsmen of Team India to face Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah. Now it has to be seen how the Indian batsmen respond to the Pakistani pace attack. Wait till September 2 to know the answer.
