Team India have turned the tide in span of 5 overs as Pakistan went from 155/3 to 187/9 in IND vs PAK World Cup match at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday.
Pakistan were crusing nicely after Babar Azam (50) and Muhammad Rizwan’s (49) partnership before Rohit gave ball back to Kuldeep Yadav in the 33rd over to get a breakthrough. And the spinner did exactly the same by trapping Pakistani batter Saud Shakeel LBW. Team India successfully reviewed to get the batter.
The bowler then got the better of Iftikhar Ahmed thereafter. Kuldeep bowled a googly pitched one outside leg and knocked the Pakistani batter over round his legs.
