Afghanistan all-rounder Karim Janat has said that he wants to be a mix of Indian batter Rohit Sharma and Pakistan’s former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar.

Rohit Sharma, who is the current captain of India cricket team, is regarded as one of the most outstanding batsmen in limited overs cricket. He holds the world record for the highest individual score in one-day international matches and is the only player to have scored three double-centuries in one-day internationals.

On the other hand, Akhtar, who retired from international cricket in 2011, is known as the fastest bowler the world of cricket has ever seen. He clocked 161.3 kph against England during a 2003 World Cup fixture.

His aggressive bowling and unique action always grabbed the limelight amidst all the cricket action.

Karim has claimed 30 wickets in 34 T20I matches at an average of 28.66 and an economy rate of 8.25.

In an interview with Cricbuzz, Karim said: “I really like two players one is Shoaib Akhtar and another one is Rohit Sharma and I want to be a mix of them.”

Karim said nobody could believe that Afghanistan cricket could get this far.

“I think we have got talent and we just have to polish them. The more we play international cricket the more we will improve,” Karim said when asked how saw the team after his brother Asghar Afghan, the former captain, retired from international cricket.
