Rohit Sharma's dismissal against Pakistan | GettyFormer India batter Subramaniam Badrinath trolled India skipper Rohit Sharma for his dismissal against Pakistan in their Asia Cup 2023 clash at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on Saturday (September 2).

Rohit was cleaned up by Shaheen Afridi with the new ball. The left-arm pacer set up Rohit brilliantly by taking the ball away from him from a shortish length and then brought one into the Indian opener and bent his off-stump back.

The Indian captain scored 11 runs off 22 balls in the marquee clash, hitting two boundaries in his knock.

During the game, Badrinath posted a picture on social media platform ‘X’, in which he drew similarities between Rohit’s wicket and a dismissal from a renowned Tamil film ‘Chennai 600028’.

“Too identical (the shot I meant ) #JustforFun #INDvPAK,” Badrinath captioned the picture.

Coming to the match, rain played spoilsport as the high-octane clash ended in a no-result. The game was called off without a ball being bowled in the second innings.

Earlier, India won the toss and opted to bat first. The Men in Blue were reduced to 66/4 in the 15th over but Ishan Kishan (82 off 81) and Hardik Pandya (87 off 90) stepped up to the plate and slammed half-centuries to propel the team to a competitive 266/10 in 48.5 overs.

For Pakistan, the pace trio of Shaheen Afridi (4/35), Haris Rauf (3/58) and Naseem Shah (3/36) shared all 10 Indian wickets among them.
