Watch: Arshdeep Singh Drops Sitter, Rohit Sharma’s Reaction Goes Viral
India and Pakistan’s Super 4 Asia Cup match on Sunday will be remembered as a great contest in the future. From Pakistan’s wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan’s 71-run knock, which ultimately allowed his team to earn a five-wicket victory on the ground in Dubai, to Virat Kohli’s outstanding innings of 60 runs off 44 balls. There were various crucial times in the game, but India was unable to triumph in those mini-competitions within mini-competitions, and in the end, the Babar Azam-led team emerged victorious. One such instance occurred when India pacer Arshdeep Singh missed an incredibly simple catch of Asif Ali in the 18th over, which drastically changed the tempo of the game.
With Khushdil Shah and Asif Ali at the crease, Pakistan required 34 runs in the 18th over, which was bowled by Ravi Bishnoi. When Asif played a sweep shot on the third delivery, the ball sailed into the air and appeared to be an easy catch for Arshdeep. However, fate had different ideas, and Asif Ali lived after the ball passed through his hands.

When Rohit Sharma, the captain of India, observed this, he lost control of his emotions and became enraged. Social media users are now sharing Rohit’s irate response, which has elicited a range of responses from the general public.
