Indian captain Rohit Sharma is gearing up to face the formidable Pakistani pace attack, consisting of Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah, and Haris Rauf, in their upcoming match on Saturday. Whether it was Afridi's impressive performance in Dubai, where he dismantled the defenses of Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul, or Rauf and Naseem's dismissals of Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, and Suryakumar Yadav in Melbourne, India has found themselves vulnerable during the powerplay. As the much-anticipated clash in Kandy draws near, Rohit Sharma was asked about his team's preparation to counter the menacing Pakistani pace attack. With a formidable 17-man squad at his disposal for the Asia Cup, Rohit Sharma expressed his satisfaction in having a plethora of options available to him. Furthermore, the comeback of Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul, who have recovered from back and thigh injuries respectively, further bolsters the batting lineup.
