Team India’s batsmen performed brilliantly in the ongoing match against Pakistan. First of all, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill laid the foundation of a big total by scoring half-centuries and after that the pair of Virat Kohli and KL Rahul did wonders. In the match being played in Colombo, India gave a huge target of 357 runs to Pakistan.
Babar Azam surrendered in front of Hardik Pandya!
Pakistan’s pursuit of a huge target did not get off to a good start. Jasprit Bumrah, playing ODI cricket after a long time, gave India success for the first time by dismissing left-handed opener Imam Ul Haq. But shortly after this, Hardik did something which created a wave of happiness among the Indian fans.
On the fourth ball of the 11th over, Hardik Pandya bowled an inswing ball to which Babar Azam had no answer. By the time the bat of the Pakistan captain touched the ball, the wickets were scattered. Earlier, in the match against Nepal, Babar had scored a century but against India he returned to the pavilion after scoring only 10 runs.

Kohli-Rahul pair becomes a disaster for Pakistan
Team India’s star batsman Virat Kohli and KL Rahul, who was returning after a long time, together made a huge partnership of 233 runs. With this, this pair made a huge record against Babar Azam’s army. Let us tell you that never before had anyone from India made a partnership of so many runs against Pakistan in an ODI. Not only against Pakistan but also in the history of Asia Cup, there had never been such a long partnership.
