Abhishek Sharma is back and India to reveal the mysterious slingshot
He added: “How often do you see so much discussion about a single player? The media, the fans and the world are not only thinking about the outcome of the match but what Usman Tariq might do tomorrow.” Hafeez praised Tariq’s temperament and insisted that the 28-year-old has the ability to turn games on his own. He advised Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha to deploy Tariq aggressively and warned that defensive usage would limit his impact. “I want to see Salman Agha’s positive decision-making and how he uses Usman Tariq. If you use him defensively, nothing will work. You need an attacking mindset. Even the sixth over can be crucial, usually your most impactful player will play it,” Hafeez explained. “Planning around Tariq is key. If he is used in the attacking zone, he can be very effective. I’m not saying Abrar, Nawaz or Shadab don’t matter, but right now all eyes are on Usman Tariq,” he concluded.
