Asia Cup 2023: WATCH - Hardik Pandya cleans up Babar Azam with a stunning in-swinger

Babar managed to score only 10 off 24 balls in the marquee clash against India.

Pakistan skipper Babar Azam endured a failure in the Asia Cup 2023 Super-4 clash against India at R.Premadasa Stadium, Colombo on Monday (September 11).

Babar was undone by a peach of a delivery from India all-rounder Hardik Pandya during the 11th over of Pakistan’s chase.

It was a stunning in-swinger from Hardik as the ball pitched outside off and nipped in sharply to hit the top of Babar’s off-stump.

The Pakistan captain was left stunned by the swing as he made his way back to the pavilion after scoring 10 off 24 balls.

Here’s the video:

Earlier on the reserve, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul took the Pakistani bowling attack to the cleaners. Both of them slammed breathtaking centuries to help India rack up a mammoth 356/2 on the board.

While Kohli remained unbeaten on 122 off 94 balls (9 fours and 3 sixes), Rahul returned with 111 not out off 106 balls (12 fours and 2 sixes).
