Shaheen Afridi is the rising talent of Pakistan cricket team and he has been doing very well lately.
Former Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir praised Jasprit Bumrah and said there's no comparison between the Indian fast bowler and Pakistan's Shaheen Afridi. Amir clarified that Shaheen is still young and learning, while Bumrah has been around for a while now.
India and Pakistan will clash in their first T20 World Cup 2021 match and fans will get to watch two of the finest speedsters, Bumrah and Shaheen. Amir said the Indian pacer is currently the best T20 bowler and he does very well in the death overs.
"See, comparing Shaheen with Bumrah at this point would be foolish because Shaheen is young and he is learning. And Bumrah has been doing well for India since so long and currently, I think he is the best T20 bowler, especially in the death over," Amir said on the YouTube channel 'Uncut'.

"But Shaheen is Pakistan's best bowler at the moment, given the way he has been performing in the last year, year-and-a-half. So, this promises to be a good contest. Bumrah bowls brilliantly with the new ball and among youngsters, Shaheen is the best when the ball is new," he added.
Amir also talked about the face-off between India and Pakistan and said the latter has an edge over the former in the fast-bowling department. However, he feels Team India's strength in spin bowling is more than Pakistan.
"As far as fast bowling is concerned, Pakistan are better. Hasan Ali and Shaheen are doing well and Haris Rauf too. These are the best T20 bowlers in the death overs. From India's point of view, Bhuvi was struggling in the IPL, so Bumrah is the only one you can say is bowling well," added the former pacer.
"Shami too can bowl well but mostly with the new ball, I feel. I don't know about his death bowling much but Bumrah is a complete bowler. In the spin department, India have the edge. Ashwin, Jadeja and Chakravarthy did well in the IPL."
