Pakistan batsman compared to India legend Sunil Gavaskar brags about being better
Pakistan’s Test vice-captain, Saud Shakeel, is making headlines not only for his consistent performances but also for being compared to Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar.
However, the 28-year-old batsman from Karachi remains grounded, insisting that his journey with the national team is just getting started.
Shakeel has been in exceptional form, steadily accumulating runs for Pakistan. Despite the comparisons to Gavaskar, one of the greatest batsmen in the history of the game, Shakeel has made it clear that he doesn’t let these parallels affect his mindset or performance on the field.
“My career has just started for Pakistan. I never took pressure of getting compared with the legendary batters
His composed approach has been evident in his recent outings, including the ongoing two-Test series against Bangladesh.
In the first Test, Shakeel showcased his talent by scoring a remarkable 141 in the first innings, although he was dismissed for a duck in the second. Despite his efforts, Pakistan lost the match by 10 wickets.
As the second Test approaches, set to take place on August 30 in Rawalpindi, Shakeel remains focused on contributing to his team’s success, rather than the weight of expectations that come with comparisons to cricketing legends.
With his career just taking off, Saud Shakeel is proving to be a promising talent for Pakistan, and fans will be eager to see how he continues to develop in the years to come.
