Babar decided to take on the short delivery by Bhunveshwar Kumar but only managed a top-edge on his pull shot. Arshdeep Singh steadied at short fine to take a simple catch. Babar Azam was dismissed after scoring just 10 runs off 9 balls with 2 boundaries. Babar clearly looked disappointed as the Indians went up in huge celebration of attaining the most important wicket and that too early on in the game.
