Shaheen Shah Afridi Viral Video Ahead Of IND vs PAK T20 World Cup 2024: The India vs Pakistan (IND vs PAK) marquee T20 World Cup 2024 clash is all set to be played at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York on Sunday (June 9). With both teams cricketing powerhouses of Asia and having large fan bases, the IND vs PAK is set to be a high-voltage contest. While India head into this fixture on the back of an eight-wicket win over Ireland, Pakistan are more desperate for a win after their shock defeat to co-hosts United States of America (USA) in their tournament opener.
And now ahead of the big IND vs PAK T20 World Cup 2024 clash in New York, a video has now gone viral on social media in which Pakistan speedster Shaheen Shah Afridi can be seen interacting with Indian fans. In the clip, an Indian fan can be seen jokingly telling Shaheen not to bowl well against India and consider Indian stalwarts Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli as close friends.
"Rohit aur Virat ko apne acche dost samjho. (Consider Rohit and Virat as your good friends)," said a fan. "Please kal acchi bowling mat karna. (Please don't bowl well tomorrow)," asked another fan, leaving everyone in splits.
Take a look at the viral video here:
India Likely To Go With Same Playing 11 Vs Pakistan
Meanwhile, India are likely to enter the Pakistan contest with the same Playing 11 as they fielded in the match against Ireland. Even though Virat Kohli failed with the bat at the top of the order with Rohit Sharma in their opening game, Rohit and Virat are expected to continue to open. Both left-m spinners Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel might retain their place because of their utility with the bat lower down the order.
