Shahnawaz Dahani has made waves in the cricketing circuit for his fast-bowling prowess, and also, he has been a part of that long production line of pacers that Pakistan keeps producing every year. He has played two ODIs and 11 T20Is for his national side. He has picked up a wicket in ODIs and eight wickets in T20Is.

Dahani took to Twitter on Jan 12, a day after Rahul Dravid’s birthday to share a picture and talk about an interaction he had with the Indian great in Australia during the 20-20 World Cup. India faced Pakistan in the 20-20 World 2022. India won the game by four wickets. The match will go down as one of the best in Indo-Pak history.

Here is the tweet

Rahul Dravid has been a part of two U-19 World Cups in 2016 and 2019
