Indian captain Rohit Sharma expressed his clear disappointment when Pakistan's Faheem Ashraf executed a remarkable catch to dismiss him during the Asia Cup 2023 4s fixture. The match taking place at the R.Premadasa Stadium, where the Indian team began with an impressive start, forming a massive 121-run partnership between Sharma and Shubman Gill.

However, in the 17th over, as Rohit Sharma faced Shadab Khan, he misjudged a lofted shot that ended up floating towards long-off. Positioned at the boundary line, Ashraf displayed an extraordinary burst of speed and agility, diving to complete a challenging catch, providing the Men in Green with a much-needed breakthrough. As the catch was successfully made, a visibly disheartened Rohit Sharma's disappointment was evident.

Earlier in the day, Pakistan's captain, Babar Azam, won the toss and chose to bowl first. The Pakistani team maintained the same lineup as their previous victorious match against Bangladesh.

On the other hand, Rohit Sharma and his team faced a setback as Shreyas Iyer experienced a back spasm, forcing him out of the game. KL Rahul stepped in to replace him in the playing XI. Additionally, Jasprit Bumrah, who missed the match against Nepal due to the birth of his first child, returned to the side, replacing Mohammed Shami.
