Sunday, 24 October has been an unforgettable day for Indian cricket fans. India was defeated by Pakistan in the World Cup for the first time. The virat-led team lost the match by 10 wickets. The toss was lost by the team India and Pak elected to ball first.
The opening pair failed to give a good start to their team. Hitman Rohit Sharma lost his wicket to a yorker. Following him, KL Rahul was declared out, but now a controversy has arisen over his wicket.
KL Rahul lost his wicket to Pakistani bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi after scoring just three runs. Later, it was revealed that Afridi bowled an absolutely unplayable delivery to dismiss the star Indian opener. It was a “No ball” at which KL was sent back to the pavilion.
