In the ongoing Asia Cup 2025 Super Four match between India and Pakistan, Indian players committed several fielding blunders to give Pakistan lifelines. The match started dramatically at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday (Sep 21) after Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and chose to bowl; Pakistan made a change at the top; instead of their regular opener Saim Ayub, Fakhar Zaman opened with Sahibzada Farhan.&nbsp;&nbsp;For India, Hardik Pandya bowled the first over to Pakistan's Farhan, who hit the first ball to cover-point. After the shot, Farhan immediately took off his gloves and called for the physio. The cameras showed heavy tape on his right hand. It seemed the ball had hit him near the handle, causing a shocking feeling.&nbsp;The very next ball, Farhan tried to play a shot across the line but edged it to third man, where Abhishek Sharma was fielding, only for him to misjudge the catch and drop an easy opportunity.&nbsp;Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/india-vs-pakistan-asia-cup-captains-avoid-handshake-at-toss-for-second-time-less-crowd-a-worry-1758465562141">India vs Pakistan, Asia Cup: Captains avoid handshake at toss for second time; less crowd a worry</a>
