Whether it`s your backlift, whether it`s your footwork, and obviously, in T20 cricket you can`t look to survive," Gambhir said while speaking on Star Sports show `Game Plan`

India must counter Pakistan left-arm pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi in an aggressive manner and not just look to see him off in their T20 World Cup opener, former cricketer Gautam Gambhir said on Wednesday. India will take on the arch-rivals on October 23 in Melbourne. Afridi, who is returning from a knee injury that ruled him out of the Asia Cup, is expected to pose a serious threat to the Indian batters at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in the upcoming T20 showpiece. "When it comes to Shaheen Afridi, don`t look to survive. Look to score runs from him. Because the moment you look to survive, everything becomes really small. Whether it`s your backlift, whether it`s your footwork, and obviously, in T20 cricket you can`t look to survive," Gambhir said while speaking on Star Sports show `Game Plan`.
