India's Victory Over Pakistan

Abhishek Sharma's impressive innings of 74 runs played a crucial role in India's victory. India successfully chased down the target set by Pakistan, showcasing their batting depth and strategic approach. The match, however, was marred by heated exchanges and visible tension between the two sides. Suryakumar Yadav, India's captain, attributed the team's earlier refusal to shake hands with the Pakistan team to standing in solidarity with victims of a terror attack and dedicating the win to armed forces.
