Although he came to bat during Pakistan's innings, but couldn't be his own self as he battled pain and wasn't able to run between the wickets properly. Although Pakistan is hosts of ICC Champions Trophy, India are playing their matches in Dubai after BCCI refused to send its team across borders due to security concerns.
