India captain Suryakumar Yadav, who had already stirred headlines by refusing to shake hands with Salman Agha at the toss, remained calm on the field and asked his teammates to stay composed. The match comes just days after the handshake controversy in the group stage, where India defeated Pakistan by seven wickets.
For this Super Four clash, India brought back Jasprit Bumrah and Varun Chakravarthy, resting Harshit Rana and Arshdeep Singh. Bowling first, they immediately found themselves in the middle of drama once again, this time with Fakhar Zaman’s hotly debated dismissal.
