Rain played spoilsport as India and Pakistan had to return with a point shared from their Asia Cup 2023 match. Having posted a total of 266 runs on the board, the Indian team didn't get the opportunity to bowl a single ball, as persistent rain at the Pallekele International Stadium made play impossible in the second innings.

As fans rued poor weather conditions, former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to troll fans from across the border.

Pakistan put themselves in the driving seat with the quick dismissals of Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Virat Kohli. But, Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya took the Indian team out of danger and helped post a challenging score on the board.

Many fans on X, however, felt that Pakistan had an advantage in the game and would've won had rain not forced them to share the spoils.
