Pakistan cricket is not having a good time, be it on or off the ground. While the side suffered an embarrassing 2-0 loss to Bangladesh in the recently-concluded Test series, there were also rumours about the team having cracks in it. A video involving Pakistan captain Shan Masood and star pacer Shaheen Afridi had gone viral on social media after the first Test and the internet speculated that all was not well between the duo. In the video, Shan was standing next to Shaheen during a team hurdle when the latter removed the former’s arms from his shoulders. After Pakistan’s series loss to Bangladesh, Masood has cleared the air on the incident.

“No. There is nothing like that,” said Masood when he was asked to comment on the rumours that he would be stepping down from his role of Pakistan Test captain after the side’s loss to Bangladesh.

“There also came a (rumour/misunderstanding) that I kept my hand on Shaheen’s shoulder and he removed it. He wasn’t angry with me, he actually injured his shoulder by Rana’s delivery. I kept my hand at the same injury point,” said Masood at the press conference after the second Test.

Another video of Masood had gone viral in which he was seen having a heated conversation with Pakistan head coach Jason Gillespie in the dressing room.

Explaining the incident, Masood said, “Then came a (report) that I was fuming at Gillespie. Our second new ball that was 8 overs old went out of the ground after Litton Das hit a six. However, the replacement ball that we got was 18 to 19 overs old. We were saying that we should have been given a new ball rather. I was complaining about that. This is the reason we try to social media less during games.”

Shubman Gill was definitely at his best during the crucial Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 match against Pakistan at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Sunday. The right-handed batter took a single off the first ball he faced but later on he went berserk and star Pakistan pacer Shaheen Afridi was at the receiving end. Gill hit a four off the second ball he faced in his innings and went on hit more two fours in the over that was bowled by Shaheen. However, that was not the end. When Shaheen came to bowl again, Gill smashed him for three fours — for the second time in the game — to make it another big over for India.

That forced Pakistan captain Babar Azam to remove Shaheen from the attack.

Soon after Gill’s show against the star bowler, the fans filled social media with a lot of memes trolling the left-arm Pakistan pacer Shaheen.

Watch some of the memes here:

Gill raced to his half-century in only 37 balls. It was his eighth fifty in the format.

Shaheen eventually got the wicket of Gill on the latter’s score of 58 off 52 balls.

KL Rahul made his return after being named in India’s playing XI for the blockbuster Asia Cup Super 4 clash against Pakistan. Rahul, who has been out of action since May 2023 due to a hamstring issue, replaced Shreyas Iyer in the playing XI, with Jasprit Bumrah also coming in place of Mohammed Shami.

This comes after reports emerged that Rahul will replace in-form wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan in the XI. Kishan scored 82 in the group stage match against Pakistan, which was washed out due to rain last week.

At the toss, Rohit confirmed both Rahul and Kishan will play against Pakistan.

“Looking to bat first. There will be a challenge upfront, but the way we guys batted last time around gives us confidence. Every game is important for us, but one thing at a time to focus on. (On rain delays) That’s the nature of the sport, it gave us good time to prepare and now we’ll look to play well. Two changes – Bumrah is back and one forced change, Shreyas Iyer just got a back spasm so KL Rahul comes in for him,” Rohit said at the toss.
