India vs Pakistan, 27th Match, Group A, ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 - Player Highlights

Varun Chakaravarthy to Usman Tariq, no run, the pause delivery from Varun Chakaravarthy. Wry smile from him. It's a length delivery outside off, slides on, left alone and Ishan Kishan takes the bails off, but Tariq had gone nowhere

Varun Chakaravarthy to Usman Tariq, no run, SKY reviews for LBW. Let's see. Another googly and Usman Tariq with a crab-like forward defence, misses the push, hit on the front pad, above the kneeroll and it's missing. Too much bounce and India lose it. Easily missing leg-stump. SKY checked with everyone and went for it. The fielders crowded Tariq for the hat-trick ball and he had no clue of that googly

Varun Chakaravarthy to Abrar Ahmed, out Lbw!! Plumb and umpire Kumar Dharmasena has an easy decision. It's the googly and one expected Varun Chakaravarthy to bowl it, Abrar Ahmed had no clue, it cuts back in from just outside off, raps the back pad as the bat is late to come down. Three reds and the review is lost. It hit the pad even before Abrar could get the bat in line. Varun on a hat-trick. Abrar Ahmed lbw b Varun Chakaravarthy 0(1)

Varun Chakaravarthy to Faheem Ashraf, out Caught by Rinku Singh!! India inch closer. It's a flat delivery on off and middle, Faheem Ashraf goes on the back foot to pull, mistimes it, Rinku comes in from deep mid-wicket and takes an easy catch. He was in a fair way from the fence. The Indian supporters in the stands having a jolly good time. Faheem Ashraf c Rinku Singh b Varun Chakaravarthy 10(14) [4s-1]
