"Rohit Sharma Missed A Trick": Star All-rounder On Where India Fell Short vs Sri Lanka in Asia Cup

Needing 21 in 12 balls, Sri Lanka scored 14 runs off the penultimate over bowled by Bhuvneshwar Kumar, almost sealing it in their favour.

The Super 4 Asia Cup clash between India and Pakistan on Sunday, will be remembered over the years for being a thrilling encounter.

There were some key moments in the game, but India were not able to win those small contests within a contest and in the end, the Babar Azam-led side had the last laugh. One such moment was when India pacer Arshdeep Singh dropped a relatively easy catch of Asif Ali in the 18th over, and this led to a massive momentum shift.
