India are currently locking horns against Nepal in their second Asia Cup 2023 match on Monday. The match is taking place at Pallekele International Stadium in Sri Lanka. India's opening game of the tournament against arch-rivals Pakistan was washed out by rain and both teams were awarded a point each. This makes India's match against Nepal a do-or-die game. A draw would also work in India's favour if they want to make it to the Super 4 stage.

Rohit sets the field and Kohli dances to Nepali song
During the Asia Cup clash between India and Nepal at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Virat Kohli, the batting maestro known for his love of dancing, showcased his dance moves once again. Kohli, renowned for his jovial nature, couldn't resist dancing to the lively Nepali music that played during the match, grooving to the popular Nepali song 'Kutu Ma Kutu.' This dance display occurred when India captain Rohit Sharma was setting the field.
In terms of cricket action, Kohli had a mixed day. Despite dropping an easy catch early in the match, giving Aasif Sheikh a reprieve, he later redeemed himself with a remarkable one-handed catch to dismiss Sheikh in the 30th over. Rain interrupted the Asia Cup match several times before it finally got halted after 2.1 overs of the second innings.
Nepal's positive intent breathes life into India's must win encounter
Nepal showed improved batting performance, particularly from wicketkeeper-batter Aasif Sheikh, who scored 58 off 97 balls with eight fours. India's erratic bowling and sloppy fielding contributed to missed chances and misfields early in the match. Dipendra Singh Airee (27) and Sompal Kami (48) also contributed to Nepal's total. Ravindra Jadeja picked up 3 wickets for India. Shubman Gill started the second innings with a bang but rain once again started falling in Pallekele resulting in another delay.
