Rohit Sharma’s gesture to Naseem Shah wins hearts on social media

New York: The India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup 2024 clash on Sunday turned out to be an absolute thriller, where the bowling sides of both the teams stepped up to deliver. Batting first, India were bowled out for only 119 runs by Pakistan’s superb bowling attack. However, the score proved to be enough as a brilliant bowling display by Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya restricted Pakistan to 113/7 in 20 overs.

Naseem Shah remained unbeaten on 10 runs off 4 balls but couldn’t help his team go across the line. Seeing his effort falling short, and the defeat putting Pakistan’s T20 World Cup campaign in serious trouble, Naseem couldn’t control his emotions. The Pakistan star was seen crying after the conclusion of the match.

A picture of Indian captain Rohit Sharma has also emerged on social media, where he could be seen trying to console Naseem who was visibly heartbroken because of the defeat.

This gesture of Rohit has won hearts on social media platforms and fans from both nations lauded the Indian captain for trying to console Naseem.

Pakistan captain Babar Azam lauded his team’s bowling attack and blamed the batsmen for playing ‘too many too balls’, resulting in a below-par show while chasing a gettable target of 120 runs.

For Pakistan to now qualify for the Super 8, a few other results have to fall in their favour and they simply cannot afford to lose their remaining 2 matches.
