Kohli’s epic ton batters Pakistan as one-sided beatdown in cricket’s greatest rivalry stuns
Virat Kohli and returning KL Rahul hit unbeaten centuries to lead India’s 228-run thrashing of Pakistan in a rain-hit Super Four clash of the Asia Cup on Monday’s reserve day.
India resumed on 147-2 after rain ended play early on Sunday and pushed the match into an additional day set aside by the tournament, which is a precursor to the ODI World Cup. Kohli added, “It is one of the memorable partnerships we’ve had and for Indian cricket as well. He hit form for us straightaway, good for us.”
Pakistan suffered a blow when officials said fast bowler Rauf had suffered a strain and would take no further part. Later fellow quick Naseem also walked off with some discomfort to his hand. Pakistan were never in the chase after they lost two early wickets including skipper Babar Azam bowled for 10 off an impressive inswinger by Hardik Pandya.
