Team India wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan was caught off guard by a cameraman during India's Asia Cup Super 4s match against Bangladesh on September 15 (Friday). The moment transpired during the dying stages of India's run chase when the handful of fans inside the R Premadasa Stadium were displaying their dance moves. After a brief focus on the fans, the cameraman switched focus to Kishan, who was spotted watching the dance on the big screen.
The Indian cricketer was taken aback and saw the funny side of it as everyone around him burst into laughter, including Ravi Shastri who was in the commentary box.

Kishan failed to make a good contribution with the bat and managed just five runs of 15 balls against Bangladesh on Friday in Colombo.
Meanwhile, India's opening batter Shubman Gill played an outstanding knock against Bangladesh and registered his 5th ODI century in 2023. Yet, his exploits went in vain as he failed to take India to the promised land. Despite Gill's impressive innings of 121 runs off 133 that was lashed with eight fours and five sixes, the Men in Blue lost the last match of Asia Cup Super 4s by six runs.
After Gill's dismissal, India were still in the hunt to complete the run chase with Axar Patel fighting at one end. The left-handed batter scored 42 runs off 34 balls with the help of three fours and two sixes but he too lost his wicket at the wrong time.
Gill's knock of the lone shining light for the Men in Blue during their run chase against Bangladesh as master of run chases, Virat Kohli watched the match from the sidelines after being rested for the dead rubber contest.
Rohit Sharma's brigade will now square off against defending champions Sri Lanka in the final on September 17 (Sunday). The Men in Blue are expected to defeat the Islanders and win the Asia Cup as they are a more power-packed side, at least on paper. Having said that, Sri Lanka have played outstanding cricket in the recent past, losing just one match out of their previous 15 ODIs.
