India-Pakistan clash is going to happen soon. The match of both the teams in ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is in everyone’s eyes. Meanwhile, two veteran players of Team India, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have started a special preparation.
Team India has called a local cricketer Awais Ahmed from UAE for practice. Awais is also a left arm fast bowler like Shaheen. Like Shaheen, he is adept at swinging and bowling yorkers. Rohit and Virat are sharpening their preparations by facing Awais’ balls these days.
For this, Team India’s coaching staff has made a special plan. In the daily two-hour special practice, Awais first bowls with a new ball, then with an old ball. With this, the players are being prepared for every kind of situation.
Who is Owais Ahmed?
According to Awais Ahmed,
“I am from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan and I learned cricket from there. Team India’s coach needed a left arm fast bowler and I got this opportunity. I can bowl both in-swing and out-swing, just like Shaheen.”
Awais also told that the Indian batsmen have to face Shaheen Afridi on 23 February, due to which the team management has appointed him. He talked about his desire to dismiss both Rohit and Kohli in the nets.
After the practice, Rohit Sharma praised Awais and said,
“You bowled very well. Your in-swinging yorkers are very dangerous. Thank you for helping us.”
This important match of the Champions Trophy is going to be very exciting. Both teams will enter the field with their full strength. This hard work and preparation of the Indian team shows that they do not want to leave any stone unturned this time.
In this way, two great batsmen of the Indian team are working hard day and night to deal with the challenge of Shaheen Afridi. Fans hope that this hard work will pay off and Team India will give a befitting reply to Shaheen this time.
