IND vs PAK, Asia Cup 2025: India got off to a sensational start as Hardik Pandya's mix of inswingers and outswingers proved effective, dismissing Saim Ayub, caught by Jasprit Bumrah at point in the first over of the match at the Asia Cup 2025 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on Sunday.
Though the first ball of the innings was called a wide, Pandya followed it up with an outswinger, pitched back of a length outside off, which shaped away from the Pakistan batter. Ayub punched the ball, and it went straight into the hands of Bumrah at point.
The dismissal in the first over quickly sparked euphoric scenes among Indian fans and players, capturing the charged atmosphere of the match.
