In a conversation, Shaheen said, “Shaheen is an attacking bowler. He likes to take wickets. He has the ability to use his pace to beat the batsmen. For that, he does a lot of swinging the ball. By doing that, the balls come straight to the batsmen and become leg-before wickets. To deal with him, the batsmen ‘V'” Let’s deal with shape strategy.
That is, if the batsmen turn in a V shape from their direction and try to hit his bowling in long on, straight and long off directions only. It can be risky if you want to play in other directions. Also, you can play friend foot and back foot shots,” said Sachin.
