Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bat against Pakistan in a crucial Asia Cup match in Kandy. Rohit opened the innings alongside youngster Shubman Gill, before rain delay halted at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. Before rain interrupted the proceedings, India were 15/0 in 4.2 overs, with Rohit and Gill unbeaten on 11 and 0, respectively. While Rohit managed to sneak in a few boundaries, Gill struggled against the moving ball, especially while face Naseem Shah.
