Both of them were dropped but they couldn't capitalise and Pakistan lost three quick wickets.

In reply, Rohit came out all guns blazing but his innings was cut short by a Shaheen Afridi yorker. Shubman Gill was watchful in the following over but went after the left-arm pacer with a flurry of eye-pleasing boundaries. India raced away to 64/1 at the end of the first powerplay. Haris Rauf bowled a good first over and induced a couple of false strokes. While Kohli's top-edge fell short of third man, Gill was dropped on 35 by Khushdil at midwicket. Rauf leaked
