Asia Cup 2023: Rohit Sharma's Cold Stare At Hardik Pandya, Others During Nepal Game Can't Be Missed. Watch

The Indian cricket team, despite its Super 4 entry in the Asia Cup with a win over Nepal on Monday, had a lot to ponder upon. India captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to field first, but Kushal Bhurtel and Aasif Sheikh got quick runs with help from the Indian fielders, who dropped three catches in the first five overs. Shreyas Iyer dropped a regulation catch at slip, Virat Kohli spilled a sitter at short cover and wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan let the ball through his gloves.

There were several other fielding frailties, including one sloppy fielding by Shardul Thakur at the boundary, and Rohit Sharma was not a happy man. In the rain-hit match, there was a point when Hardik Pandya, Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan, Shardul Thakur were walking off he field and Rohit Sharma's cold stare at them could not be missed.

Skipper Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill remained unbeaten as India hammered cricketing minnows Nepal by 10 wickets in a rain-hit match to enter the Super Four stage of the Asia Cup on Monday. Chasing a DLS (Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method) revised target of 145 in 23 overs after a rain interruption, India reached home with 17 balls to spare in Pallekele.

Rohit, on 74, and Gill, on 67, stood strong. Nepal were bowled out for 230 after Aasif Sheikh top-scored with 58.

The 50-over tournament is seen as a tune-up for the upcoming ODI World Cup in India but rain has played spoilsport, forcing organisers to discuss a venue change for upcoming matches in Colombo.

India's opening match against Pakistan, who were the first team to move into the next round, was abandoned after just one innings. In their second outing, India were 17-0 in 2.1 overs when heavy rain forced players out of the ground
