NEW DELHI: Opener Shubman Gill, who struggled against Pakistan's formidable pace trio during his painstaking 32-ball 10 in the group stage Asia Cup match, admitted that rare encounters against the likes of Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf make a 'difference' during multi-nation events.
Indian top-order batters have had their issues with Afridi's deceptive nip-backers and the unorthodox angles he consistently generates. The challenge primarily stems from the limited exposure to facing such bowlers, regardless of having studied countless videos of their bowling performances.
