Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf was left embarrassed during IND vs PAK Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 clash. Rauf, who is currently the leading wicket taker in Asia Cup 2023, was left red faced after his DRS demand was bluntly refused by Babar Azam.
The incident happened in the 24th over when KL Rahul fended down the wrong line and missed the ball. Rauf made a loud appeal for an LBW but umpire was not moved. The 29-year-old then tried to convince skipper Babar Azam and confidently said, “out hai (it is out)”.
However, Babar hilariously scolded Haris and told that the ball was clearly hitting KL Rahul above the knee roll. The interaction between the two also left wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan and KL Rahul in splits.

Rain stops play in Colombo
Currently, rain is having its say in the mega clash between India vs Pakistan. After being put to bat, Team India made a brilliant start against Pakistan in Indian openers Rohit Sharma (56) and Shubman Gill (58) stitched a 121-run partnership to lay good foundation for a big total.
Pakistan made a mini-comeback when they got rid of both openers in quick succession but Virat Kohli (8*) and KL Rahul (17*) kept India steady before rain stopped the play.
Team India Playing XI: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul (wk), Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj.
