IND vs PAK: The much-anticipated India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2023 fixture has gotten underway at the Pallekele International Stadium on Saturday (September 2). While India won the toss and elected to bat first, only 4.2 overs were bowled before the players had to leave the field as a passing shower arrived at the venue. In the little play that was possible before the rain stopped play, Rohit looked good but Gill did not look at his best.

While Rohit remains unbeaten on 11, Gill has failed to score a run off the 8 deliveries that he has faced so far. Fans on social media were quick to react on Gill's tentative start. Some even remembered KL Rahul while commenting on Gill. 

Have a look at the reactions here:

Meanwhile, as far as the Pakistan pacers are concerned, Afridi did drift on to the pads a bit but Naseem Shah was spot on with his line and length and Gill was probably respecting the conditions a bit against a pacer in fine form which is why probably he hasn't yet scored a run. The rain-induced break, however, is likely to help the bowlers than the batters.
