Team India gave a shameful evening to Pakistan
In Colombo, Team India got an emphatic victory over its arch rival Pakistan by 61 runs. With the win, the defending T20 World Cup 2026 champions advanced to the next stage of the tournament, one of the biggest wins over Pakistan in T20 World Cup history.
As soon as Usman Tariq was bowled out in the 18th over, Indian cricket fans rejoiced. However, the situation was not very pleasant for Kuldeep Yadav. After the match he had to confront his teammates. Hardik Pandya looked angry at Yadav for missing the catch.
Why was Hardik Pandya angry at Kuldeep Yadav?
As against India’s 175 runs in the first innings, Pakistan could score only 114 runs for ten wickets in 18 overs. If Kuldeep Yadav had managed to catch the ball successfully then the innings could have slowed down. Shaheen Afridi swung his bat against Hardik Pandya on the second ball of the 18th over. The ball went to Yadav, posting it at long-on. Kuldeep had to cover some ground to establish himself on the line of the traveling ball.
Yadav made every effort to complete the catch but failed to complete the process as the ball slipped from his fingers and landed on the cushion of the boundary rope. Pandya was angry about the incident. However, he managed to take the remaining wickets on the last ball of the over.
After the match, a video on social media platforms caught the attention of cricket fans. The video captured the moment when Pandya was animated with Yadav. Suryakumar Yadav was also involved in the chat. After a while, star batsman Rinku Singh stepped in to defuse the situation.
