38.5
Kuldeep Yadav to Sarfraz, out Caught by Rohit!! Kuldeep gets the Pakistani skipper and the crowd in Dubai erupts in joy. More number of Indian supporters as compared to the opposition. This was a fairly tossed up delivery around off and Sarfraz tried to go inside out. Fails to get the elevation required and ends up handing an easy catch to Rohit at cover.
