Pakistan’s all-rounder Shadab Khan named his favourite Indian cricketer during a press conference in Hyderabad on Sunday.
The leg-spinner named Indian captain Rohit Sharma and spinner Kuldeep Yadav as his favourite Indian batter and bowler, respectively.
“I like Rohit Sharma very much. He is very dangerous once he gets set and it is very difficult to dismiss him,” said Shadab.
“As far as bowler is concerned, I like Kuldeep [Yadav] since I’m a leg-spinner. He is in good form and bowls well despite flat tracks in India,” he added.
Shadab also believes that the team which bowls well will win the mega event.
“In these conditions, it is difficult to stop the flow of runs and take wickets. I think the team that bowls well will win the tournament,” he said.
He also highlighted the importance of staying fit during the tournament.
It must be noted that the Pakistan team landed at the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Hyderabad, India, on Wednesday from Dubai to participate in the mega event.
They have also played one warm-up match, which they lost against New Zealand by five wickets on Friday.
The Green Shirts will play Australia on October 3 in their second warm-up match before they begin their World Cup campaign against the Netherlands on October 6.
