‌IND vs PAK | Twitter and Virat startled at Abrar’s celebratory dugout gesture after befuddling Shubman with pearler

Despite losing the openers inside the first ten overs, a 104-run partnership for the third wicket between Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel laid the foundation for a 200-plus total before the Indian bowlers dragged the game into their court after the second refreshment break. Highlighted by three-fer from Kuldeep Yadav, Pakistan was curbed to 241 runs before Rohit Sharma’s blitz in the chase was curtailed down by a Shaheen Afridi yorker. Despite the jitter, Kohli and Gill continued their flourish with the willow, adding 69 runs together before Abrar’s introduction outsmarted the youngster. 

Yet again, a wicket fell post-drinks brink in the game with Gill failing to read a leg break from Abrar. The right-arm leggie came over the wicket and pitched the ball on a length stump line that turned square and beat the bat’s outside edge to castle the timber. Gill played for the line and was dumbfounded by the drift and turn-off Abrar. Subsequently, the spinner brought out his trademark celebration – getting his arms crossed and sheepishly gesturing towards the dugout with a nod. Simultaneously, Kohli at the non-striker’s end was seen animated as he was awed by the drift and turn, sparking Twitterverse buzz.
