A face-off between India's star batter Abhishek Sharma and Pakistan spinner Sufiyan Muqeem hogged limelight during the ACC Men's T20 Emerging Teams Asia Cup 2024 match on Saturday.
In the match at Al Amerat Cricket Ground in Oman, India A captain Tilak Varma won the toss and opted to bat. Openers Abhishek and Prabhsimran took India off to a flying start against by scoring 68 runs in the powerplay.
Pakistan then brought left-arm spinner Muqeem into the attack and he struck on the very first ball.While a celebration from Pakistan was quite obvious, Muqeem incited Abhishek by giving him a fiery send-off.
The Pakistan spinner gestured the batter to walk towards the dugout in such a non-friendly manner that the India star stood there and said something in reply.
