India's 2007 T20 World Cup winner S. Sreesanth warned Rohit Sharma & Co. for Imad Wasim and Mohammad Amir ahead of the India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup 2024 clash. The 41-year-old reckons that veteran cricketer Mohammad Amir's experience will play a huge role during the arch-rivals clash at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.
Sreesanth also shed light on Yashasvi Jaiswal's struggle against the left-arm spinner in the recently concluded Indian Premier League (IPL). Notably, Jaiswal has scored 275 runs while facing a left-arm spinner with a strike rate of 86.47.
“Yashasvi Jaiswal was seen struggling in IPL when they put in a left-hand spinner. I think they are a team that can create a threat. Pakistani players play in many leagues in the US. They have that experience. Mohamed Ameer has played with them and he still does. He played with us as well. Mohamed Ameer's experience will be very useful for them" said S. Sreesanth on Star Sports.
