It's been more than two years since the last time these two sides met. India vs Pakistan has become a rare feature in the international calendar but in the ICC events, there's a surety that this fixture will be there because of the hype and excitement around it.
The arch-rivals were facing each other for the 200th time in international cricket and in attendance were several dignitaries and Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar and actress Urvashi Rautela.
Urvashi was seen waving the Indian flag when wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant hit a boundary off Shadab Khan in the ninth over of the innings and for the uninitiated, there has been a history between the two. The duo were rumoured to be dating each other in 2018 and apparently, when things didn't work out Pant blocked Rautela on Whatsapp.
Rautela had wished Pant on his birthday earlier this month on October 4, while fans had replied to the same poking fun at saying let him focus on the World Cup.
@RishabhPant17 happy birthday

After the camera panned on to her, the fans came up with hilarious reactions saying Pant should have opened, he would hit five sixes in six balls, score a century, etc.
Here are some of them:
