Melbourne: Pakistan is in a really tough spot as they lose both their openers inside the first four overs itself. Arshdeep Singh dismissed both Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammad Rizwan. Rizwan chipped the fifth ball of the fourth over but it lands a little short from Virat Kohli. However, on the very next ball, he found Bhuvneshwar Kumar as he pulls a short ball.
Arshdeep Singh totally stunned the Pakistan team and fans across the world after dismissing Babar Azam on a golden duck on the first delivery of the second over. Pakistan’s hopes were on the in-form batter Rizwan following the dismissal of Pakistan’s skipper Babar Azam.
Rizwan got a couple of lifelines from the Indian star batter, Virat Kohli. First, Virat missed a run-out that could have sent Rizwan back way too early. Then during the fifth ball of the fourth over, Rizwan chipped a ball and it landed just short of Virat Kohli.
Virat depicted a great example of the spirit of the game as everyone thought that it was a dismissal of Rizwan. However, Kohli denied the catch straight away and told that it fell a little short of him. Now, everyone thought Rizwan might play a huge knock after the lifelines from Virat Kohli.
However, on the very next ball, Arshdeep bowled a short ball and this is considered a huge weakness of Pakistan’s star batter. He pulled that delivery but didn’t make enough contact and wasn’t in complete control of the shot and as a result found Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the deep.
