On September 27, the Pakistan Cricket team under the leadership of Babar Azam arrived in India for the first time in seven years in preparation for the World Cup 2023. This year’s World Cup is being hosted by India, and it will take place there from October 5 to November 19. Now, Cricketer Shadab Khan praises the hospitality provided by India towards the Pakistani cricket team.
The crew was greeted warmly and applauded by cheering crowds when they arrived at the airport in Hyderabad. The occasion marks a pivotal point in the two countries’ bilateral cricket relations and heightens anticipation for the 2018 World Cup, which will be held in India.
Shadab Khan, the Pakistani leg spinner, found the team’s reception on Indian soil to be amusing as well. He acknowledged the ‘City of Nizams’ for welcoming their cricket team with open arms, and he did it with real warmth. The Pakistani captain also hoped that the Indian team would experience the same kindness when visiting Pakistan. The 24-year-old claimed when asked about the food that it was incredibly excellent and that he was worried the team could gain weight.
Pakistani Cricketer Shadab Khan:
Shadab remarked, “The support personnel, who are mostly South Africans, are concerned that we would end up becoming more obese because of the delicious cuisine. Hopefully, Ahmedabad, where we play India, will show us the same love.”
With players like Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, and Rohit Sharma, the Indian cricket team hopes to do well at the upcoming ODI World Cup in 2023. Pakistani all-rounder Shadab Khan recognised the impressive star power inside the Indian squad as his country paid a seven-year visit to India.
The renowned leg spinner, who was specifically praising Indian captain Rohit Sharma, also lauded Rohit’s significant batting skills and referred to him as a difficult batter to bowl against. Prior to the World Cup, the statement emphasises the expectation and recognition of the elite players in the Indian team.
According to Shadab Khan as quoted by Sportskeeda, “Among the top batters in the world, Rohit Sharma is the most challenging to bowl to, and I have great admiration for him. Once he settles in, he poses a serious threat. Kuldeep Yadav will be one of the bowlers, as I am a leg-spinner, considering his recent performance.”
