The Colombo fan, who is watching the match live, has asked the left-arm seamer to take it easy on the Indian top order.

"A fan asks Shaheen Afridi to be gentle with India's top order after travelling 7 hours to watch the game." "Cricket fever is in full swing," wrote sports journalist Himanshu Pareek, who shared the image. "I drove for 7 hours to see India bat." Toh Shaheen Bhai Thoda Aaram Se..Please," read the note from a fan.

Meanwhile, in the final minute, Rohit Sharma announced that batter Shreyas Iyer has been ruled out of the match owing to back spasms. Iyer's fortunes appear to have reversed again just before the match.

"Shreyas Iyer had a back spasm during warm-up today," a BCCI bulletin stated. Because of Iyer's injury, wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul was able to fill in and represent India in the heated match.
