Indian bowlers did a good job in restricting Pakistani batters to 159 runs and the Indian team would have fancied its chances at the mid-innings but as we type, things hand in the balance between the two sides as India has lost 3 wickets inside powerplay overs.

KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma opened the innings for the Indian team and they did saw-off Pakistan’s Shaheen Afridi’s first over quite well but in the next over, KL Rahul lost his wicket to Naseem Shah and Rohit Sharma lost his wicket in the 4th over to Haris Rauf.
Netizens were not impressed at all with their intent and here’s how they reacted.
#RohitSharma plays only in IPL! He is namesake Indian captain! Give a newcomer chance!!! #Kohli is anyways focused more on ads and glamour!
