Indian fan requesting Shaheen to take it easy against India [Twitter]
Ahead of the much anticipated India-Pakistan clash, an Indian fan has a unique request for Shaheen Aridi, who tormented the Indian lineup in the group stage. The Indian fan carried a banner, which has urged Shaheen to 'take it easy' against the Indian batters.
The fan shared he's driven 7 long hours just to watch India bat, and he hopes that Shaheen goes easy against the likes of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.
Here's what he said:
"Shaheen Bhai thoda aaram se.... Please."
The request was conveyed in a funny manner, but it clearly depicts the Indian batters' never ending struggle against Pakistan's pace bowling. Specially top order batters tend to fall for left arm pacers time and again.
India and Pakistan will clash for the second time in the Asia Cup tournament, having played in the rain-abandoned group stage match, that took place last week.
In the last encounter, Shaheen dismissed both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to dismantle Indian batting for the umpteenth time. This time, fans are expecting Rohit and co to come good against Shaheen, Naseem, Haris.
After a complete washout prediction, weather looks sunny and perfect for a mega clash.
