Rohit and Gill faced the Pakistani bowlers cautiously at the beginning of the match. Rohit defended Shaheen and Naseem Shah’s tactics. But Rohit, who came to the crease following play was interrupted due to rain, made a mistake. Afridi’s ball bounced off Rohit’s stumps (15-1).
Kohli, who came third, also made a good start. The player opened his account by hitting a boundary off Naseem Shah. But Kohli also succumbed to Afridi’s pace. Kohli is bowled on the inside edge (27-2). India’s top line once once more falters in front of Pakistan.
Shreyas Iyer, who returned from injury, tried to attack the Pak bowlers but might not stay at the crease. Shreyas Harris, who scored 14 runs off nine balls, was confined to the hands of Babar Azam off Rauf. With this, India fell to 48-3.
Later, Gill and Ishaan Kishan tried to form a partnership, but Haris Rauf became the villain. Rauf took the fourth wicket following breaking Gill’s defense from the start. Gill also bowled (66-4) with 10 runs off 32 balls.
Young star Ishan Kishan and vice-captain Hardik Pandya took the responsibility of picking up India’s batting slump. The alliance took the innings forward by finding boundaries at regular intervals without reducing the run rate. Hardy was well supported as Ishan sped up the run flow.
Both added 138 runs for the fifth wicket. After the half-centuries, Ishan and Hardik increased the pace of the scoring and Pakistan were under pressure. But before giving up the game, Ishaan was dropped by Rauf. Ishan returned with 82 runs off 81 balls including nine fours and two sixes (204-5).
