Achi Bowling Nahi Karni Hai: Indian Fans Request Shaheen Afridi to Take it Easy on Rohit, Virat

Indian cricket fans have taken to social media to appeal to Pakistan’s star fast bowler, Shaheen Afridi, ahead of the upcoming Asia Cup 2023. The fans have requested Afridi to refrain from bowling too aggressively against Indian batters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, citing their friendship.

Afridi has emerged as one of the most formidable fast bowlers in world cricket, known for his express pace and lethal swing. His performances against India, particularly in the T20 World Cup 2021, have earned him immense respect from Indian fans.

However, some Indian fans are concerned that Afridi’s competitive spirit may get the better of him and he may bowl with extra zeal against the Indian team. They have appealed to him to show compassion towards Rohit and Kohli, who are both considered legends of the game.

“#AchiBowlingNahiKarniHai (Don’t bowl too well),” tweeted one fan. “We want to see Rohit and Virat bat freely. #AsiaCup2023”

Another fan wrote, “Shaheen, you’re a great bowler, but please don’t make it too difficult for our boys. We love watching Rohit and Virat play their best.”

Some fans even went to the extent of calling Afridi their “dost” (friend) and requesting him to be gentle on the Indian batters.

“Shaheen, we consider you our friend. Please think of us when you’re bowling to Rohit and Virat,” said a fan.

While acknowledging Afridi’s talent, Indian fans emphasize that they want to enjoy the Asia Cup with good competition but without any undue aggression. They hope that Afridi will respect their request and showcase his skills without targeting specific players.
