IND vs PAK T20 World Cup: India's triumphant 61-run win over traditional rival Pakistan in the T20 World Cup at the R.Premadasa Stadium in Colombo was overshadowed by a heated exchange between skipper Suryakumar Yadav, all-rounder Hardik Pandya, and spinner Kuldeep Yadav.

The confrontation, captured on camera, displayed Pandya and Suryakumar reprimanding Kuldeep for dropping a catch in the 18th over, which allowed Pakistan to extend their innings.

The all-rounder Pandya's composure under pressure was crucial in sealing India's victory, as he finished with impressive figures of 3-16-2, playing a pivotal role in restricting Pakistan to 114 in 18 overs

Earlier, India's total of 175/7 was largely fueled by Ishan Kishan's explosive 77, which countered an early setback.
