Absolutely! Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma, known as India's PRINCE and HITMAN, have given India a fantastic start in the Super 4 match against Pakistan.

In their previous encounter, fans remembered how Rohit was bowled for just 11 runs by Shaheen Afridi, and Gill struggled to score only 10 runs off 32 balls before being bowled by Haris Rauf. However, in their second face-off against their arch-rivals, both Indian openers managed to reach their respective half-centuries.

While both Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill departed, they have laid a strong foundation for the Indian team. Rohit departed for 56 while Gill was sent back for 58.
