The India-Pakistan clash in the 2024 T20 World Cup was a nail-biter with the Men in Blue trouncing Babar Azam & Co. by six runs at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium.
However, amidst all the excitement, there was a moment that showcased the true sportsmanship of the players. It happened during Pakistan’s 120-run chase in the second over.
During the second over of Pakistan’s 120-run chase, Siraj bowled a full delivery that Rizwan pushed back towards the bowler. In an attempt to run Rizwan out, Siraj’s throw struck the batter’s right hand. The blow left Rizwan visibly in pain, but he managed to scamper for an overthrow.
