Rashid Latif, considered to be one of Pakistan’s greatest wicketkeepers
Rashid Latif predicts this bowler will be leading World Cup 2023 wicket-taker. Former Pakistan wicketkeeper Rashid Khan shared his views on India spinner Kuldeep Yadav following his match-winning performance in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 fixture against Pakistan at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium.
Kuldeep Yadav played a crucial role in his team’s comprehensive seven-wicket win over the arch-rivals on Saturday. He took key wickets of batters Saud Shakeel and Iftikhar Ahmed in the 33rd over.
He was the only India bowler to complete his quota of 10 overs in the match.

Rashid Latif, considered to be one of Pakistan’s greatest wicketkeepers, shared his views on the Green Shirts finding it difficult to play him in a column for an Indian news agency.
The former cricketer says he could be in the running for becoming the tournament’s highest wicket-taker.
“Against Kuldeep [Yadav], we looked timid, we were trying to just play out his ten overs,” Rashid Latif stated. “Not a single Pakistan batsman was able to pick Kuldeep [Yadav], and I think if he is not rested in a few matches, Kuldeep will end up being the leading wicket-taker of the tournament.”
