India Vs Pakistan, T20 WC: In a video that was released on the eve of the cricket World Cup, Pakistan fast bowler, Hasan Ali is seen speaking about the batsman he feels is most difficult to bowl at. Ali feels India's Rohit Sharma is that batsman!
The young Pakistani pacer narrated a memory from the 2019 World Cup game between India and Pakistan when he was annoyed as he could not pick up the wicket of Rohit Sharma. The Indian vice-captain scored a match-winning 140 in that game.
When asked about who is the most difficult batsman of his career, Ali had no second thoughts in saying, "Rohit Sharma in 2019 World Cup!"
"I was like, 'what do you want?' You have completed your century as well, now what else do you want?," Hasan Ali said in a video released by ICC.
"Anyway, he got out later, but I felt during that entire time, I kept wondering that 'How to get him out'..
"Very difficult to get Rohit Sharma out," he concluded.
Take a look at what Hasan Ali had to say:
Hasan Ali had previously in an interview said that Rohit Sharma 'can hurt you really hard'. "If its Rohit Sharma’s day, he can hurt you really hard and he troubles me,” Ali said in an interview to CricWick in June 2021.
“He has a lot of potential and can hit you anywhere. He plays the ball late and in the line of the delivery, especially his pick-up shots, which is not easy. Not every player can play such shots but Rohit has that ability,” he added.
Hasan Ali is known for his unique celebration.
The match will start at 7:30 pm IST and it is being played in Dubai.
