'Farhan signalled AK-47, but Abhishek and Gill launched BrahMos': Kaneria

Danish Kaneria

Former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria shared his blunt views on Pakistan’s loss to India, saying the Indian openers left Pakistan’s bowlers clueless with their ruthless counterattack. “Sahibzada Farhan signalled an AK-47, but then Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma launched a BrahMos of their own with the bat — and Sharma even followed it with a flying kiss. That’s how you do it. The Indian openers’ counterattack was so destructive that Pakistan players were left bamboozled. There’s ‘dhulai’ and then there’s ‘maha dhulai’. This was the latter,” Kaneria said.

He added, “When you have players like Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill as openers, even 200 can look like a small total against them on such a wicket. Both are class players.”
