Indian cricket team batter Abhishek Sharma revealed how Pakistan pacers tried to rile them up during the Asia Cup 2025 Super 4 clash on Sunday. During India's batting, both Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma got into war of words with Pakistan fast bowlers. Shubman Gill and Shaheen Afridi had a couple of altercations during the first few overs. Tensions flared massively when Abhishek also got into a spat with Haris Rauf and the on-field umpire had to step in. Following India's six-wicket win, Abhishek said that there were "personal attacks" from the Pakistan players and he decided to teach them a lesson along with Gill."I felt today was the day to bring out such a performance. Personally, I didn't like how they were making personal attacks after every ball. I felt it was important to give an answer to them," Abhishek said in a conversation with Gaurav Kapur, Virender Sehwag and Irfan Pathan on Sony Sports.
