A required rate of 6.61 from the outset should have looked like bread and butter for the Men in Blue, but that wasn’t the case as they got off to a jittery start. Pakistan, from being down and out, stormed back into the contest in no time through some early wickets.
With the score at 10 in the third over, Rohit Sharma tried to play an uppish drive, but skied it into the hands of Shoaib Malik off the bowling of Mohammad Amir. India’s shaky start didn’t end there as Mohammad Sami castled Shikhar Dhawan and Suresh Raina with successive inside edges.
