New Delhi. It can be a dream of any bowler in the world to dismiss Virat Kohli in his very first over in the T20 World Cup. Pakistan’s Naseem Shah did the same on Sunday. And not just Kohli, this bowler also took the wickets of Shivam Dubey and Akshar Patel. When batting came, 10 runs were scored in 4 overs. But despite all this, when the match ended, the player was in tears.
The T20 World Cup was played between India and Pakistan on Sunday. Pakistani bowlers did a great job and bowled out the Indian team for 119 runs in 19 overs. Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf took three wickets each for Pakistan.
Chasing a target of 120 runs, Pakistan started well but fell short in the last overs. Finally, when the 20th over started, he needed 18 runs to win. Arshdeep Singh dismissed Imad Wasim on the very first ball of this over. After this, Naseem Shah came to the crease.

Naseem Shah took a run on the first ball. After this, when he came back to the crease, he hit two consecutive fours. However, these efforts of Naseem Shah did not work for Pakistan. Despite two consecutive fours from Naseem Shah, Pakistan needed 8 runs off the last ball to win. The target became impossible and Naseem could not lead his team to victory. He scored a run off the last ball.
Our young bowler Naseem Shah also played better than our top order batsmen. Time has come, if you are not performing well, please please please resign and let others join. It’s time to make tough decisions, or they’ll never understand. #PakvsIndpic.twitter.com/kkV9LZntFX
