Pakistan defeated India by 8 wickets in the U19 Asia Cup 2023 match in Dubai.
Young Indian batter Adarsh Singh was dismissed in a bizarre and funny manner during his innings in the recent U19 Asia Cup 2023 match between India and Pakistan at the ICC Academy Ground in Dubai.
However, the India U19 team suffered an eight-wicket loss to the arch-rivals Pakistan in the U19 Asia Cup 2023 match on Sunday, December 10.
Adarsh (62) was brilliant with the bat against Pakistan, contributing significantly to India's total of 259/9 in the high-pressure game against Pakistan in Dubai. Adarsh didn't quite connect properly while attempting a cut shot to a delivery from Pakistan's Arafat Minhas.
The ball ended up with an under-edge, and in a surprising turn of events, the Pakistan U19 captain and wicketkeeper, Saad Baig, displayed quick reflexes by catching the ball between his legs. Notably, Adarsh made 62 runs off 81 balls with some classy shots laced with 4 fours and 1 six against Pakistan.
This unusual dismissal brought an unexpected end to Adarsh Singh's promising innings. The video of his dismissal went viral on social media.
Watch:
