Pakistan left-arm pacer, Shaheen Shah Afridi will lead the bowling attack in the second Test of the three-match series against Australia.
Renowned Indian sports journalist, Bharat Sundaresan posted a video clip on social media in which Shaheen Shah could be seen bowling off-spin in the nets. The cricket fans were quick to find a lot of similarities between his action and that of Indian all-rounder, Ravindra Jadeja.
There’s a lot of Ravindra Jadeja, just a few inches taller, about Shaheen Shah Afridi bowling left-arm spin, the bounce in the hair included #PakvAus pic.twitter.com/6YCI99E9VV

It is pertinent to mention that Shaheen Shah was impressive with the ball against Australia in the first Test at Rawalpindi despite a flat pitch.
Shaheen bowled a total of 30 overs in the first innings and took the wicket of the world’s best Test batter, Marnus Labuschagne, and Mitchell Starc.
