India vs Pakistan: How can there be a match between India and Pakistan without high-voltage drama on the field? India is facing arch-rival Pakistan in the 27th match of the T20 World Cup 2026. Shivam Dube was seen furious after being dismissed during a match at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.
In the match against Pakistan, India batted first and scored 175 runs. Abhishek Sharma was dismissed for a duck, but his partner Ishan Kishan thrashed the Pakistani bowlers and played a brilliant innings of 77 runs.

Why did Shivam Dube get angry?
Shivam Dube is generally considered a very calm player. He is rarely seen losing his temper on the field. However, during the match against Pakistan, he couldn’t control his emotions and became enraged. Interestingly, the source of Shivam Dube’s anger wasn’t a Pakistani player, but his own teammate Rinku Singh.
Rinku Singh’s Class-Up
This fascinating drama unfolded in the final over of India’s batting innings. Rinku Singh hit a four off the first ball bowled by Shaheen Afridi. The third ball crossed the boundary, and then Rinku hit a magnificent six off the fourth ball. Rinku attempted a shot on the fifth ball, and Shivam Dube wanted a double. Rinku refused, and Dube was run out. He then became furious and, before leaving the dressing room, looked at Rinku and said something to him. This was the first time he was seen in such a rage.
