Shami turned back and walked down a few steps and confronted the Pakistan fan before MS Dhoni intervened.

Notably, a Fakhar Zaman hundred helped Pakistan 338/4 on the board in their quota of 50 overs after which India were bundled out for 158. On Sunday, fifties from Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan and a stunning spell of new-ball bowling from Shaheen Afridi helped Pakistan hammer India in Dubai.
