The high-voltage match between India and Pakistan yielded no result as persistent rain poured down at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy, Sri Lanka, on Saturday, September 2. In the midst of the thrilling affair, the DJ at the stadium played the ‘Ram Siya Ram’ song which sent social media into a frenzy.
Despite rain interrupting play at certain intervals, fans witnessed the entirety of the first innings as the Men in Blue posted a modest total of 266 runs. This was possible due to Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya’s disciplined outing after the early fall of wickets which reduced the side to 66/4. While Ishan notched up 82 off 81 balls, Hardik got 87 off 90 balls and the pair combined to raise a 138-run stand to help revive the Indian innings.
