Pakistan's power-hitter, Asif Ali, claimed that he hit 100 to 150 sixes every day in order to prepare for the T20 Asia Cup 2022.
Training at the National High-Performance Center (NHPC), Asif Ali said that he bats at a position for which he needs to train his big shots ahead of the series and tournaments.
"I bat on a position where an average of over 10 is required. For that, you need to hit big shots and that requires a lot of practice," said Asif in an interview with the PCB.
"I usually hit 100-150 sixes daily so that I can hit 4 to 5 in the match," Asif further shared.
Asif Ali further added that he never thinks about playing the same shot twice since T20I demands innovation.
"It depends on the match situation. When I come to bat in T20Is, there is always pressure on me. I try to hit the ball according to its line and length. I never think of playing the same shot again and again," he maintained.
Pakistan have safely landed in Dubai for the event as they begin their Asia Cup 2022 campaign against India on August 28.
Shaheen Afridi has been left out of the squad due to a knee injury and Mohammad Hasnain has been named as his replacement.
