Watch: Haris Rauf shatters Shubman Gill's middle stump with a terrific delivery in IND-PAK Asia Cup match

Haris Rauf secured his second wicket of the evening, dismissing Gill with a rather lackluster shot. Gill carelessly extended his bat, allowing the ball to graze it and ultimately hit the stumps. This wicket holds significant importance, considering Gill's substantial time spent on the field and his promising start towards achieving a substantial score.

Earlier, India's captain, Rohit Sharma, won the toss and chose to bat against Pakistan in the highly anticipated Asia Cup opener in Sri Lanka on Saturday. Adding to the excitement, Shreyas Iyer returns to the Indian middle-order after a lengthy injury layoff, accompanied by the skilled Jasprit Bumrah, who will lead the pace attack alongside Mohammed Siraj and Shardul Thakur. Furthermore, India has strategically included two spinners, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja, in their lineup.
