Young paceman Arshdeep Singh has been subjected to a lot of trolling on social media after India's loss to Pakistan in the Asia Cup Super 4 encounter. The youngster dropped a catch of batter Asif Ali in the 18th over and that proved to be a costly error as the big-hitter sealed the match for Pakistan in the 19th over.
Everything was going hunky-dory for the Indian bowling unit as long as Hardik Pandya was delivering with the ball alongside his batting post his return from injury, but the medium pacer's performance against Pakistan in the Super 4 stage last week has probably once again given rise to a few old questions - Can Hardik be trusted to be one of the frontline seamers and bowl his full quota of four overs in every game possible or should he be looked at as a stop-gap arrangement?
Pakistan defeated India by 5 wickets in the Super 4 encounter of the Asia Cup and that has put Rohit Sharma's team in a tricky situation as they now need to beat Sri Lanka and Afghanistan to ensure they reach the final. India will also have to keep in mind their net run rate as Sri Lanka's big win over Afghanistan has put them in a good position. India take on Sri Lanka in a must-win match on Tuesday.
The Indian cricket team was dealt a shock on Sunday as it lost to Pakistan in a thriller at the Asia Cup. The Rohit Sharma-led Team India failed to defend a 181-run total. With the defeat, India now face a pressure situation in their next matches against Sri Lanka and Afghanistan. After the five-wicket loss, former Pakistan cricket team pacer Shoaib Akhtar pointed out some flaws in India's game-plan against Pakistan. "India must decide which final XI to select. What is your future? Is it Rishabh Pant? Dinesh Karthik? Hooda? Bishnoi? What is your final XI? Find your final XI at least first. The selection looks confused. I don't understand, why is the selection so confused," Akhtar said in a video uploaded on his YouTube channel.
Rishabh Pant's white-ball struggles continue to haunt him as the player once again failed to impress with the bat on Sunday. The southpaw scored 14 runs off 12 balls in India's five-wicket loss to Pakistan in the Super 4 match of the ongoing Asia Cup on Sunday. Pant attempted a reverse-sweep off Shadab Khan but his failure in its execution saw him handing an easy catch to Asif Ali at a crucial juncture in the game. The wicketkeeper-batter received a lot of flak for his mode of dismissal and former international cricketers, including the likes of Gautam Gambhir and Wasim Akram, were also critical of his shot selection at such a stage in the game.
Rohit Sharma tasted defeat as captain in the Asia Cup Super 4 stage against Pakistan on Sunday. Team India lost to Pakistan in the last over as it failed to defend a 181-run total. With pressure on India to win their next matches against Sri Lanka and Afghanistan, all eyes will be on how Rohit leads the side. Former Indian cricket team allrounder Irfan Pathan was impressed by Rohit's bowling changes in the Super 4 match against Pakistan.
Former India batter Suresh Raina on Tuesday announced his retirement from all formats of cricket. It is important to note that the left-handed batter had retired from international cricket in 2020 and now he has decided to bid adieu to all formats of cricket. Raina announced his decision on Twitter and he thanked the likes of Chennai Super Kings, Rajeev Shukla, BCCI and Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association.
India pacer Mohammed Shami has come out in support of young seamer Arshdeep Singh, who is being subjected to criticism on social media after dropping a catch against Pakistan in the Asia Cup Super 4s match on Sunday at the Dubai International Stadium. Arshdeep dropped the catch in the 18th over of the innings and hence Asif Ali got a life. In the end, Pakistan walked away with a five-wicket win.
