India and Pakistan taking on each other in any sport is a treat to watch but when it comes to cricket, the craze is just unreal. With fans of both teams always passionate about it, it’s hard for anyone to stop the rush of emotions, especially the players. India captain Rohit Sharma felt the same when the national anthem of India was being played at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).
Rohit was seen getting emotional as the anthem finished. The Indian captain was seen holding his tears back when the last verse of the anthem was sung by almost one lakh Indian fans present at the venue. Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) shared the video with the caption "BRB, there's something in our eye...".
Watch the video here:
Well, the emotional Rohit turned into an aggressive captain soon after the first ball was bowled. The Indian captain and his team got something to cheer about really quickly as left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh dismissed Pakistan captain Babar Azam for a golden duck. Singh did not allow Azam to settle as he bowled a full, swinging delivery right away which hit him on the pad.
Babar was adjudged out by the on-field umpire but the Pakistan captain took a chance hoping for a reprieve. But it did not happen as it was three reds on the DRS and Babar had to walk back to the pavilion.
