While Yashasvi Jaiswal departed for a duck in the 1st over, his opening partner Shubman Gill got out for a duck in the very next over to leave India reeling at 6/2. (Image Credit: Getty)

This meant that the feat of both India openers getting out without scoring happened just for the second time in a T20I with Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane also getting out for ducks in a T20I played seven years ago. (Image Credit: Getty)

However, India revived well from the poor start and were 180/7 in 19.3 overs before rain interrupted play. Rinku Singh and Suryakumar Yadav scored half-centuries. (Image Credit: Getty)
