High Tensions and Fierce Batting Ignite India-Pakistan Super Four Clash
The flames of rivalry were ablaze as India and Pakistan faced off in the ongoing Super Four match. Pakistan batted first, posting a competitive total of 171 runs. A strong start was tempered by a loss of momentum, leaving them 15–20 runs short of what might have been a match-winning score.
India’s response, however, was dominant from the outset. Abhishek Sharma launched the chase with a first-ball six and maintained fluent stroke play, while Shubman Gill showcased unparalleled class and composure. The Indian openers’ attack unsettled the Pakistani bowlers, who tried to regain control with verbal jabs. Shaheen Afridi initiated the antics, soon joined by Haris Rauf, leading to heated exchanges and finger-pointing on the field. Despite the tension, the Indian duo remained poised, handling the aggression with supreme grace and focus.

The Indian crowd made their presence felt when Haris Rauf came to field near a section dominated by Indian supporters. Spectators erupted, chanting Virat Kohli’s name—a reminder of the legendary shot Kohli played against Rauf during the 2022 T20 World Cup clash in Melbourne. Back then, Kohli had hit a back-foot maximum over mid-off off a back-of-length delivery, followed by another six, turning the game and etching the innings as one of the greatest T20I performances ever.
