The India vs Pakistan games, nonetheless, have always been defined by the contests between Pakistan's bowlers and India's batters. Speaking on the same, former Australia skipper Ricky Ponting said that this time is going to be no different either.

"Yeah, they (Pakistan) have pretty great bowlers, earlier it was Shoaib (Akhtar) vs Sachin (Tendulkar) and now it is Shaheen Afridi vs India's top order. Haris Rauf can also hit 150 (kmph), and he's their go to guy in middle overs. But yeah, if Pakistan have to win then their bowlers have to have some impact with the new ball early on," reckoned Ponting while taking to the ICC Review.

Emphasizing on the same, former Pakistan cricketers have also advise to target India's top order early on, especially skipper Rohit Sharma, who hit a brilliant century in the last game vs Afghanistan.

“He has to be dismissed early, maybe if Shaheen lands a yorker or someone bowls a very good bouncer. Otherwise, it seems very difficult to get him out,” said former Pak player Moin Khan.

Rohit has been dismissed by left-arm pacers a few times in his career and Pakistan's Shaheen Afridi will be looking to take advantage of that fact.
