India captain Rohit Sharma is one of the finest batters in the world of cricket. From playing mammoth knocks to playing one of the most sensible innings, there is hardly anything the star could not do in batting. However, even the best get to face challenges and some even trouble them to a great extent; left-arm pacers have been such a concern for Rohit. Pakistan's ace pacer Shaheen Afridi, who is a left-handed speedster, has managed to keep the batter under pressure more often than not when the side has met India.
Out-of-favour South Africa batter Faf du Plessis picked four bowlers to look for during the Cricket World Cup 2023.

While du Plessis left out Bumrah, he picked Mohammed Siraj and Kuldeep Yadav among the four bowlers. South Africa's ace pacer Kagiso Rabada and New Zealand's pace spearhead Trent Boult completed the list. Du Plessis added that the performance of all the four bowlers will depend on the kind of surfaces they play on.
