Salman Agha's Genius Move: Pakistan Captain Stuns India, Dismisses Abhishek Sharma Early

  • Pakistan captain Salman Agha surprised everyone by opening the bowling in the 2026 T20 World Cup clash against India.
  • Agha, who rarely bowls more than two overs, dismissed India's Abhishek Sharma in the first over at R. Premadasa Stadium.
  • The spinner set up Sharma with three quick off-stump deliveries, then bowled a straight one to cramp him for room.
  • Sharma, expecting a boundary, went for a pull but mistimed it, leading to an easy catch at mid-on.
  • Abhishek Sharma was also recovering from a stomach bug, which may have impacted his performance.
