Pakistan vs India, the most anticipated clash of the ongoing ‘Super 4’ stage of the Asia Cup 2023 took place on 10 September in Colombo. After winning the toss, Pakistan skipper, Babar Azam won the toss and opted to field first. India made an excellent start and after 24.1 overs, they were on 147 runs for two wickets.
But, after that, any further play was called off due to heavy rain and hence, the match is scheduled to begin from that stage only on the reserve day, 11 September. But, now a video has gone viral where Babar was seen losing his cool with a security guard while he was asked for a selfie. Seeing that, fans were left surprised as it is quite a rare sight from the Pakistan skipper.
Here is the shared video:

Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill put up an opening partnership of 121 runs
Speaking of the video, it seemed that the incident happened after the match was called off. Babar was seen going towards the dressing room from the ground and a security guard was seen looking for a selfie with him. First, he paused for a second and posed. Then, again, the security guard was seen looking for another quick selfie. But, this time, Babar seemed not so happy as he expressed his displeasure with some angry gestures.
In the earlier clash between these heavyweights in the group stage, the top order of Team India failed miserably against Pakistan, especially against the pacers. So, all eyes were on them this time around and they nailed it. Both Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill put up a partnership of 121 runs for the first wicket in 16.4 overs. Gill scored 58 runs off 52 balls while Rohit scored 56 runs off 49 balls. Currently, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli are the overnight batters as they are set to resume the action on the reserve day, 11 September 2023. Shadab Khan and Shaheen Shah Afridi has taken one wicket each so far.
