IND vs PAK: In the Asia Cup 2022 match against India, Pakistan fans were hoping for a strong inning from Pakistan captain Babar Azam but Babar flopped against arch-rivals team India and didn't help his team to a bigger total in this much-hyped match. Even though Babar Azam looked dangerous earlier with a couple of classy shots but Bhuvneshwar Kumar spilt all Pakistani hopes as he got rid of Azam with a bouncer. 

In his first over of the spell, Bhunveshwar pitched all the deliveries at full length but soon he realized that he'd have to adopt a different strategy to dismiss the star batter. After pitching three deliveries on the good length to Babar, Bhuvneshwar went for a bounce on the 4th delivery of the 3rd over. 

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.
