Ishan Kishan and Abhishek Sharma viral moment during Asian Games

Indian cricketers Ishan Kishan and Abhishek Sharma, currently in Nagoya, Japan, for the Asian Games 2026, gained social media attention while attempting to watch the first ODI between India and the West Indies.

While the duo intended to follow the live match being played at Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram, they mistakenly engaged with a cricket gameplay simulation instead of a live broadcast. The players were seen reacting to the digital simulation, with Abhishek Sharma humorously commenting on the repetitive nature of the game's bowling algorithm.

In the actual ODI match, the West Indies scored 295 for seven in their first innings, highlighted by a century from Justin Greaves. For India, Kuldeep Yadav delivered a notable performance, taking four wickets for 40 runs in ten overs.
