News Daily Digital Desk: Cricket is a game of uncertainty. India’s innings against Pakistan in the Asia Cup proved that age-old adage once again. The innings started with a bit of disappointment. India’s great fight in the middle. In the end, the power of Pak pacers again. As a result, India’s score finally stood at 266 runs.
Captain Rohit Sharma won the toss at Pallekelle and decided to bat first. Shaheen Shah Afridi was the nightmare Indian fans were seeing. Shaheen returned the two pillars of Indian batting Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the first seven overs. Shreyas Iyer could not stand for long. Shubman Gill played 32 balls and scored 10 runs. At one point, Team India was heading towards a certain disaster, losing 4 wickets for just 66 runs. Bring them back Rauf. It seemed as if Rohit could not even make a respectable score.

Just then, Ishaan Kishan and Hardik Pandya showed golden rays after that dark night of nightmare. Two stars pulled the team from the edge of the abyss. Ishan started to attack the first Pak camp. Teaming up with Hardik, this pair slowly made India cross the 100-150-200 runs barrier. India started dreaming of a new mass based on this pair. Just then fate struck again. Ishan returned with a catch to Babar off Rauf’s ball with a personal score of 82 runs. India score then 204-5.

However, Hardik Pandya was not disappointed after losing his partner. Already made his half century. Now he started to counter attack. He tried to pair again with Jadeja. But that pair didn’t last either. Just when it seemed that Hardik’s century was certain, the vice-captain of Team India got out. Personal 87 runs. India’s score was then 239 runs for 6 wickets. Indian fans were still hoping for a big run. But everything changed in the next 3 balls. Jadeja and Shardul also went back one by one. The score which seemed to be close to 300 after taking consecutive wickets came down to 266 runs. Indian batsmen could not even play 50 overs. The innings ended with 48 overs in 5 balls.
