IND vs Pak: Arshdeep Singh caught more attention than he expected during the Asia Cup 2022 when he dropped that fateful catch during India vs Pakistan match. The nail-biting match was at its peak with 26 runs needed from the last two overs. Khushdil Shah and Asif Ali took 19 runs off Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the 19th over. Arshdeep Singh, who dropped Ali for duck an over earlier, got the equation to two runs off two balls. But Iftikhar Ahmed sealed the match in Pakistan's favour with a ball to spare.
