India v Pakistan can't paper over organisational mess of Asia Cup

Asia Cup 2023: Apart From Babar Azam, "Who Do They Have?" Sunil Gavaskar's Sharp Query On Pakistan
The India vs Pakistan Super 4 clash at the Asia Cup 2023 ended up in the Rohit Sharma-led side's favour. Indian cricket team ticked all the right boxes both in the batting and the bowling departments. Virat Kohli's supreme fitness was evident in his 47th ODI century while comeback man KL Rahul produced an equally engaging ton on comeback as India thrashed a listless Pakistan by record 228-run margin in a rain-marred Super Four game of the Asia Cup on Sunday.

Watch: Jasprit Bumrah Suffers Injury Scare Against Sri Lanka In Asia Cup 2023, Leaves Social Media Concerned
Jasprit Bumrah suffered a massive injury scare during the Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 clash between India and Sri Lanka on Tuesday. Bumrah suffered a back injury back in September 2022 and he ended up missing the T20 World Cup and the Indian Premier League due to rehabilitation. He finally made his return in the T20I series against Ireland and will surely be a major asset for his side in the upcoming Cricket World Cup 2023. As a result, Indian cricket team fans were left extremely worried when he seemingly twisted his ankle while bowling against Sri Lanka. He landed awkwardly while delivering the ball and his ankle got twisted during the follow-through. However, there was not much to worry as he came back to continue his bowling spell and ended up dismissing Pathum Nissanka in his next over.
Asia Cup 2023: Who Is Dunith Wellalage - Sri Lanka's U-19 World Cup Hero Who Sent India Top Order Packing
It has been an interesting week for Sri Lanka spinner Dunith Wellalage. During Sri Lanka's group stage match against Afghanistan, the 20-year-old was on the receiving end of a Rashid Khan onslaught that almost knocked his side out of the competition. Wellalage ended up conceding three boundaries in 4 balls and it took the late heroics from teammate Dhananjaya de Silva to salvage the game for Sri Lanka. However, it looks like he was able to put that all in the past as he produced a sensational bowling display against India on Tuesday. He dismissed Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli to leave the India top-order in tatters and followed it up with Hardik Pandya to complete his five-wicket haul.
