Asia Cup 2023: Watch - Shaheen Afridi castles Rohit Sharma in IND vs PAK Group A clash

Indian captain Rohit Sharma managed to score 11 runs before getting castled by Shaheen Afridi.

Cricket fans from both India and Pakistan had been eagerly anticipating this match, given the rich history of intense and thrilling encounters between the two teams on the cricket field. The Asia Cup 2023 clash was expected to uphold this legacy, and it certainly did not disappoint.

In a pivotal moment during the game, Pakistan's formidable fast bowler, Shaheen Afridi, once again showcased his exceptional skill by clean bowling Indian captain Rohit Sharma. This dismissal occurred in the fifth over of the match and marked the first wicket for Pakistan in the highly anticipated IND vs PAK match.

Initially, India had managed to accumulate 15 runs without losing any wickets after 4.2 overs of play. However, the game faced an interruption due to rain, causing a temporary halt in proceedings. When the match eventually resumed, it was Afridi who stole the spotlight once more. In the same over as the rain break, Afridi delivered an outstanding ball that completely dismantled Sharma's stumps, leaving Indian fans in a state of complete disbelief.

Unfortunately for Sharma and his team, he couldn't capitalize on the second chance provided by Pakistan's earlier lapse. Sharma was bowled out for just 11 runs from 22 balls. He appeared to be struggling against the relentless pace and precision of Afridi, who once again proved his mettle. The breakthrough came on the fourth delivery after the rain delay, with Afridi breaching Sharma's defenses and sending his stumps flying, leaving the Indian supporters shocked.
