Ramiz Raja’s prophecy on highest run-getter and leading wicket-taker
In his keen observations and predictions, Ramiz singled out Indian batter Virat Kohli as the potential highest run-getter and spinner Kuldeep Yadav as the likely leading wicket-taker in the approaching cricket encounter. The 1992 World Cup winner shed light on the strategic elements at play as he opined on Yadav’s inclusion in the team with Pakistan’s batting struggles against wrist spin in mind.
“I believe Virat Kohli will be the highest run-getter and will definitely give a key performance because of how well he does against them. Also, Pakistan’s bowling attack suits Kohli as well. I also think that Kuldeep Yadav will be the highest wicket-taker. And I believe Yadav’s inclusion in the team has been done keeping Pakistan in mind because they struggle against wrist spin,” Raja said in a conversation on JioCinema’s daily show ‘#AAKASHVANI’.
