Legendary fast bowler Yunis has openly discussed the psychological edge that Pakistan bowlers can try to make against Abhishek. “Abhishek can take the game away in the first few overs, but everyone has a bad day and may be on Sunday. He will be under pressure in a final, and if Pakistani bowlers bowl with clarity and plan, they can take him out quickly,” Waqar was quoted by the first post.
Amir emphasized strategic bowling, highlighting Abhishek’s stumps and the effectiveness of delivery directed on the body line. He said that how similar strategies for Mitchell Starc worked in dismissing Abhishek during the IPL, saying that a completely executed slow ball could inspire a wrong shot. Amir also said that by maintaining disciplined line and length, targeting Abhishek’s aggressive nature may disappoint the batsman and force a mistake.
,A bowler should not allow him [Abhishek] To open your arms. A swinging delivery inside the stump, four to five meters in length, can force an edge. I have noticed that Mitchell Starc dismissed her with an outsinger in the IPL. A right slow ball can also work, because he plays with hard hands, it can be caught in the air in the circle, ‘ Aamir explained.
