Nawaz caught napping as Suryakumar Yadav shows great presence of mind to execute perfect run-out - WATCH

India captain Suryakumar Yadav once again displayed sharp cricketing brains as he ran out Pakistan’s Mohammad Nawaz in a crucial moment of the Asia Cup 2025 Super 4 clash. The dismissal came in the 19th over off Jasprit Bumrah’s bowling, leaving Pakistan reeling at 149/5.

Pakistan skipper Salman Ali Agha tried to play a shot but the ball hit him on the pads and went towards backward square. Varun Chakravarthy was stationed there and he threw the ball at non-striker’s end in an attempt to run out Salman. An alert Suryakumar Yadav collected the ball and then threw it at the other end, where Nawaz was caught napping.
