Pakistan is facing India in their Super Four encounter in the ongoing Asia Cup 2023 at the R.Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Sunday.
The play has been interrupted due to rain and at the time the play was stopped, India were batting at 147-2 in 24.1 overs.
However, as soon as the rain started, it was not only the ground staff running to put covers on the wicket and outfield but they were accompanied by Pakistan's Fakhar Zaman.
Zaman was running with covers in his hands and was doing his best to cover the ground so the wicket and the outfield would not get much affected by rain.

Zaman's gesture was appreciated by fans on social media and here is how fans on X, formerly Twitter, reacted to that.
Earlier today, India got off to a flying start courtesy of Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma's aggressive century stand.
The two batters hit boundaries all over the ground and made sure that what happened in their group-stage encounter against the Green Shirts, doesn't happen again.
Sharma was removed by Shadab Khan for 56 off 49 while Gill became the victim of Shaheen Afridi after scoring 58 off 52, his knock included ten fours.
Virat Kohli 8* and KL Rahul 17* will resume the innings for the Blues once rain stops.
Earlier, Pakistan won the toss and decided to bowl first.
Pakistan fielded an unchanged playing XI for this high-voltage clash.
Meanwhile, India made two changes with one of them being forced after Shreyas Iyer picked up a spasm in the back moments before the toss and was replaced by KL Rahul. Jasprit Bumrah also replaced Mohammad Shami in India’s lineup.
