Colombo, February 15 India were at 41 for 1 after five overs against their arch-rivals Pakistan, after losing the charismatic Abhishek Sharma for a duck off the fourth ball of their high-stakes T20 World Cup match here on Sunday.
Sharma, who had missed the previous game against Namibia due to a stomach bug, was dismissed off the final delivery of the first over by off-spinner Salman Ali Agha. He was caught at mid-on by Shaheen Shah Afridi. He has yet to score a run in this edition of the T20 World Cup, having been dismissed for a duck against USA.
Opener Ishan Kishan was unbeaten on 36, while Tilak Varma had scored 5 as India looked to rebuild after the early setback.
Earlier, India captain Suryakumar Yadav did not shake hands with his Pakistan counterpart Salman Ali Agha at the toss, continuing the status quo maintained since the Asia Cup in Dubai last year.
