Team India's first T20 World Cup 2022 match against arch-rivals Pakistan will go down in history as one of the best games played between the two nations in World Cup history. It was a game full of twists and turns and despite the fact that the Men in Blue appeared to have an upper hand on the tie, Dinesh Karthik's dismissal nearly resulted in a Pakistan win.
Rohit Sharma and Co did prevail by four wickets over Babar Azam's side, but they needed Ravichandran Ashwin to keep his calm and help India over the finish line. Karthik meanwhile thanked his teammate for 'saving him' as the former was dismissed while India needed two runs to win.
India needed two runs from two balls, and Karthik came to join Virat Kohli in the middle after Hardik Pandya's dismissal in the final over. For Karthik, who is considered one of the best finishers in the format it seemed like a straightforward task but unortuantely that wasn't the case.
Karthik was dismissed and out come Ashwin on strike. The spinner kept his nerves and Mohammad Nawaz bowled a wide ball which gave the Indian team, and their billion fans a sigh of relief.
