Watch: Arijit Singh's Passionate Reaction After Babar Azam's Dismissal Is Viral During Cricket World Cup 2023

Team India had a dreamy start to their Cricket World Cup 2023 match against Pakistan as they bundled out the visitors for 191. Asked to bat first, Pakistan started off the proceedings on a good note with Abdullah Shafique and Imam-Ul-Haq stitching a good partnership. However, Mohammed Siraj provided the hosts with their first breakthrough in the form of Shafique. Later, the entire bowling unit contributed as Pakistan's innings came to an end in just 42.5 overs. Only skipper Babar Azam played a decent knock of 50 runs and provided Pakistan with some hope. But, Siraj struck in the 30th over and clean bowled Babar.

The dismissal of the Pakistan skipper left every Indian fan, including famous Bollywood singer Arijit Singh excited. In a video going viral on social media, Arijit was seen waving his t-shirt from the stands, to celebrate Babar's wicket.

This is Pakistan's second lowest score against India in ODI World Cup after 180 all-out back in 1999.

The two new ball bowlers made the semi-new ball talk by altering the length and using the wobbly seam to run through a circumspect middle-order and put India on course of their eighth victory in ODI World Cups.

Kuldeep Yadav's (2/35) role as the supporting protagonist was also laudable as he did his bit in removing Saud Shakeel (6) and Iftikhar Ahmed (4) in quick succession to hasten the slide.
