India is set to face Pakistan in the Super 4 game of the Asia Cup 2023

Speaking about the game, the Indian Cricket Team is currently participating in the Asia Cup 2023 in Sri Lanka. In two rain-affected group stage games, India beat Nepal, and no result with Pakistan propelled them to the next stage. In the Super 4 stage, India will take on host Pakistan at the Colombo International Stadium in Colombo on September 10.

Ahead of the prestigious game, India will be released as two main players join the squad. Wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul joined the team after recovering from injury and proving his match fitness at the National Cricket Academy. Meanwhile, star pacer Jasprit Bumrah will return to Sri Lanka in one or two days as he was on paternal leave for the delivery of his baby boy.

जय हो नन्द लाल की ।
नन्द के आनंद भयो,
जय कन्हिया लाल की ॥

बृज में आनंद भयो,
जय यशोदा लाल की ।

जय कन्हिया लाल की ॥
