Watch: Virat Kohli's Reaction To Shaheen Afridi's Bowling Says It All During India vs Pakistan Match At Asia Cup 2023

Shaheen Afridi was the top performer for Pakistan during the Asia Cup 2023 match against India as he took the important wickets of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. The Babar Azam-led side was off to a brilliant start as Indian batters found it hard to play the pace bowling from Shaheen and Naseem Shah. The overcast conditions at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium was extremely conducive for their style of bowling and it resulted in both Rohit and Virat failing to score big. One moment that has gone viral on social media saw Kohli giving a stunned reaction as Rohit was beaten by a delivery from Shaheen.

On the final ball of the fifth over, Shaheen came up with an in-swinging delivery that was able to pierce through Rohit's defense. The Pakistan fast bowler bowled two out-swingers before bringing the ball inside leaving the Indian cricket team skipper completely beaten.
