Babar Azam was knocked over by a Hardik Pandya nip-backerDespite being the top-ranked ODI batter with a slew of impressive records to his name, Pakistan's captain, Babar Azam, continues to face challenges when it comes to delivering solid performances against the Indian cricket team.In the Super 4 clash of the Asia Cup held in Colombo, the 28-year-old was dismissed by Hardik Pandya after scoring just 10 runs.

However, once the players took to the field, India quickly seized control of the proceedings.India concluded their innings at 356-2 within the allotted 50 overs, and Pakistan remained without a wicket on the reserve day.Virat Kohli, the former Indian skipper, remained unbeaten with a remarkable 122 runs from 94 deliveries, featuring nine boundaries and three sixes.

He bowled only five overs in the innings. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) issued a statement, stating, "Haris Rauf will not be bowling any further in the Asia Cup Super 4 match against India as a precautionary measure.
