[WATCH]- Abhishek Sharma’s Stunning Catch Ends 72-Run Stand In IND vs PAK Super 4 Clash

Abhishek Sharma pulled off a brilliant catch to dismiss Saim Ayub during the Asia Cup 2025 Super 4 encounter between India and Pakistan in Dubai on Sunday, September 21. The effort not only sent Ayub back for 21 off 17 balls, extending his poor run in the tournament, but also broke a 72-run stand with Sahibzada Farhan.

The breakthrough came in the 11th over when Shivam Dube bowled a short-of-length delivery on middle and leg. Ayub attempted a big shot but only managed a top edge towards deep backward square. Abhishek ran in, dived forward, and completed the catch safely with both hands.

The wicket gave Dube an immediate impact, striking in his very first over against Pakistan and further boosting India’s momentum. You can watch the video here:
