The high-voltage match between India and Pakistan in Asia Cup 2023 could not be completed due to rain. Batting first, India scored 266 runs and Pakistan could not bat either. Many fans were disappointed on Saturday, but after India’s top order failed, Ishan Kishan (82) and Hardik Pandya (87) entertained the fans with strong innings. Shaheen Afridi took 4 wickets for 35 runs. Regarding this match, the former captain of the Pakistan team Salman Butt has said that it was good for India that captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli got out early.
After winning the toss and electing to bat, Rohit Sharma looked in good rhythm and control, but was dismissed when play resumed after rain. Soon Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer also started walking. After this, Hardik Pandya and Ishan Kishan took over the innings and managed a respectable score. Salman Butt has also been impressed with his batting and has said that the wickets of Rohit and Virat were good as the middle order was able to score runs under pressure.
Salman Butt said in his YouTube video, “I used to say earlier that when it comes to such high-pressure games (in the Indian team), apart from 2-3 players, there is a lack of experience. The best thing for India today. It happened that their key players (Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli) got out early and their youngsters came back into the match. They took them to a respectable score.”
India-Pakistan match excitement subsided? Asia Cup has not seen the same craze as before
He said, “We can’t say that Pakistan would have chased down the target easily. It would have been a thrilling finish. If India had fielded and bowled well, it would have been very difficult for Pakistan. I would say that India lost a lot from this match. . It paid off. Everyone was saying what would happen if Rohit and Kohli got out early against this attack. What happened was they still scored 270.”
