The India vs. Pakistan match at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Kandy, Sri Lanka, on September 2, ended in a no-result due to persistent rain. During the game, the DJ played the ‘Ram Siya Ram’ song, creating a buzz on social media.
Despite rain delays, fans witnessed the full first innings. India scored 266 runs, thanks to Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya’s solid partnership after an early wicket loss, bringing the team to 66/4. Ishan made 82 off 81 balls, while Hardik contributed 87 off 90 balls, forming a crucial 138-run partnership to revive the Indian innings.
However, in the midst of the game, a rather unusual incident caught the eye of fans on social media. In the 34th over of the innings, the stadium DJ played ‘Ram Siya Ram,’ a track from the Indian movie ‘Adipurush.’
