When captain Kohli congratulated his Pakistani counterparts after the match, photographers fervently captured the bittersweet moment and many social media users proudly gushed over it. Some described it as an expression of rare sportsmanship – one that remains unspoilt by the political fault lines that underpin ties between the two nuclear-armed neighbours. As the attack grew, many people, including veteran cricketers Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag, spoke in support of Shami.

Whether Backstedt can utilise this crossover to tame the track, road and cyclo-cross circuit at elite level remains to be seen, or is perhaps only a matter of time. Guptill got the chase off to a strong start in the Powerplay, hitting all but four of his team’s runs before falling for 20 in the fourth over to Jasprit Bumrah. There were just two sixes and ten boundaries in total in India’s innings, leaving them needing a superb showing from the bowlers to avoid a second straight World Cup loss.

But Kishan made little impact, falling to Trent Boult for just four off eight balls.
