Former Pakistan Cricket board Chairman and Cricketer Ramiz Raja has made a major claim about India’s bowling attack following their win over New Zealand and said that they have designed it in the same way as Pakistan.
India have had a good pace attack for years now with the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami putting in consistent performances on the international circuit.
The Indian bowlers were on the money in the second and third T20Is against the Kiwis. Their efforts in Ahmedabad certainly caught the eye of the fans.
After putting up a score of 234 runs in their 20 overs on the back of Shubman Gill’s unbeaten 126. Then it was the turn of the bowlers to take centre stage as they ripped apart the New Zealand batting order.
Captain Hardik Pandya picked up four wickets on the day as the visitors were cleaned up for 66 and India won the match by 168 runs and the series 2-1.
The performance did please former PCB Chairman Raja who went on to claim on his YouTube channel, as quoted by Hindustan Times, that the Indian team had taken a look at Pakistan and designed their bowling attack in the same way. The former cricketer went on to point out the similarities between the likes of Umran Malik and Haris Rauf to add value to his claim.
“I often feel India took a look at Pakistan and designed their bowling attack the same way. Umran Malik has pace just like Haris Rauf, Arshdeep brings the left-arm angle like Shaheen Afridi. Wasim Jr. chips in during the middle-overs and so does Hardik Pandya, both have the same pace as well. Shivam Mavi also plays the role of a supporting bowler,” said Raja.
Raja also went on to say that the spin department of the Indian team is slightly better than that of Pakistan.
“India’s spin department is a bit better than Pakistan. I always look at what Pakistan need to improve whenever I see both sides playing,” the former PCB chairman further said.
