India U19 batsman Adarsh Singh took a funny dismissal during the ongoing game against Pakistan in the U19 Asia Cup 2023. The match between the two arch-rivals will take place at the ICC Academy Ground in Dubai.
Adarsh was the shining light for India against Pakistan in the ongoing U19 Asia Cup match. The left-hander played a vital role for his team and ensured that his team finished with a decent total on the board in the high-pressure game in Dubai.
Opening the batting, Adarsh Singh played an amazing innings under pressure despite wickets falling at the other end. He looked set for a big strike, but his stay in the box was cut short by a strange lay-off, as he was caught behind in the most unusual of ways.
Adarsh Singh tried to sweep the delivery of Arafat Minhas who was outside. He, however, didn’t get a good connection and ended up getting an under-edge. Pakistan U19 captain Saad Baig, who was behind the stumps, showed great reflexes and caught the ball between his legs.

Adarsh Singh’s knock propels India U19 to a total of 259 runs on board
India were asked to bat first and they got off to a decent start with the bat. Adarsh Singh (62) and Arshin Kulkarni (24) added 39 runs for the opening partnership but after that they fell some wickets which put them on the back foot. Pakistan continued to contribute wickets at regular intervals and put pressure on India.
Then, Uday Saharan (60) and Sachin Dhas (58) scored magnificent half-centuries that brought India back into the game. Thanks to their vital fifty, the Boys in Blue registered a total of 259 runs on the board. For Pakistan, Mohammad Zeeshan was the pick of the bowlers as he bagged four wickets and returned with figures of 4/46. Apart from him, Amir Hassan and Ubaid Shah picked two wickets each.
With the ball, India struck early as they dismissed Shamyl Hussain for just 8 runs. Murugan Abhishek struck for his team when the Pakistan batsman was caught by Adarsh Singh. However, after the initial blow, Pakistan has put pressure on India as Shahzaib Khan and Azan Awais are batting amazingly well.
