IND vs PAK LIVE: The images of the same went viral in no time. Thus, it is safe to say that Sharma will play aggressively against the fast bowler. An important point to be noted is that Sharma was also seen doing a special drill to prepare himself against Afridi. While he refrained from playing any horizontal shots during his net practice, he tried to play in the ‘V’ as much as possible. Moreover, he was facing throwdowns from a left-armer to rectify his vulnerability against left-arm pacers.

We have worked hard and we should overcome the challenge,” said Rohit Sharma during a recent interview.
