T20 World Cup: KL Rahul is Major Threat to Pakistan, Says Matthew Hayden
Matthew Hayden has said that KL Rahul is the major threat for the upcoming match with Pakistan.
On Sunday, the India vs Pakistan cricket competition is all set to take the limelight in the ongoing T20 World Cup. Virat Kohli and team will initiate their T20 WC campaign against Pakistan. In the upcoming clash, Team India holds an advantage over the oppositions with their unbeaten record against them in the T20 World Cups.
Former Australia opener and current Pakistan batting consultant Matthew Hayden picked the Indian players who he feels are a major threat for Babar Azam and team.
Hayden said, "I sense that KL Rahul is a major threat to Pakistan. His dominance in the shorter format is good. Someone like Rishabh Pant, with a cheeky smile and his brash nature and beautiful vision for the game, is a destroyer."
Further, he said, "Babar is our premier player and will be targeted and as Chris Gayle (West Indian great) says ‘everyone wants to put him in his pocket’. There is going to be additional pressure on Babar as captain and as batsman. It’s a real dog fight and the conditions and margin of error are very little and so good leadership is going to be the key and Babar commands that role and he needs to fulfill that role."
