India's batting in the mammoth clash against Pakistan collapsed spectacularly as the team bundled only for a total of 119 despite being at 81/3 at one point and going strong with a run rate of 8 runs.
But India's batting outside of Rishabh Pant was completely devoid of ideas as they collapsed. India's power hitters in Suryakumar Yadav and Shubhman Gill departed for a cheap after a horrific show with the bat. The dismissals of Shivam Dube and Suryakumar irritated a lot of fans as Indian Captain Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid were questioned for dropping Rinku Singh.
