India are up against Pakistan in a Rising Stars Asia Cup encounter on Sunday (November 16), which is set to be a feisty encounter.
In recent months, India and Pakistan have been at loggerheads in the field,
creating multiple moments of flare on the pitch.
In the senior team's Asia Cup, there were multiple issues between the two teams, from Sahibzada Farhan's celebrations to the Abhishek Sharma and Haris Rauf altercation. And in the encounter between India A and the Pakistan Shaheens in this Asia Cup Rising Stars, it promises to be the same.
India A are batting first and Vaibhav Suryavanshi has provided a stormy start to them. The southpaw has hit some terrific shots against the Pakistani pacers, and a moment in the first three overs has already caught the eye. Vaibhav was seen in an altercation with Pakistani pacer Ubaid Khan, and then gave the bowler a befitting reply.
During the 3rd over, Ubaid Khan bowled a delivery which was not timed properly by Vaibhav. The ball went in the air and then found the cover fielder after a bounce. The bowler said something which prompted Vaibhav to reply.
"Ball Dalna, Ja Ball Daal (Just Bowl, Go and Bowl)," Vaibhav was heard saying on the stump mic. And in the very next delivery, the 14-year-old hit an exquisite shot over cover, and kept his pose as the ball reached the fence. The Pakistani pacer had to answer to the Indian young maverick.
Although Priyansh Arya fell for 10 runs, Vaibhav has made a stellar start to his innings. The Bihar-born currently bats on 24 off just 13 deliveries as India are 35 for 1 at the end of 4 overs.
Vaibhav is coming into this clash with a stellar form, as he scored a magnificent 144 off just 42 deliveries in the last match against UAE.
