NEW DELHI: Former Australian opener Matthew Hayden has offered advice to India's captain Rohit Sharma, urging him to approach Pakistan's pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi's first three overs with "caution," aiming to avoid a repeat of their fate in the 2021 T20 World Cup in the UAE.
In that tournament, Rohit fell victim to a searing Afridi yorker on the very first ball, which subtly curved inwards, leaving the opener completely bamboozled. India went on to suffer a demoralizing 10-wicket loss in the group match and struggled to recover throughout the 2021 edition.
