India Vs Pakistan (2016)
A famous Asia Cup game between India and Pakistan took place back in the year 2016. The game shall be remembered due to the incredible environment of suspense that it provided all its viewers with throughout both the innings. Pakistan batting first found themselves in total trouble as they had no answer to the incredible bowling line up of India which kept on picking wickets for fun right from the first over.
The bowling department that had Bumrah, Nehra, Jadeja and Pandya bundled out Pakistan for a mere 83. The total though seemed to be a mediocre one for India was made to look unbelievably difficult as Mohammed Amir took matters into his own hands. The left-arm pacer removed Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane for ducks in the first over of the Indian innings.
With the fall of Raina and the Indian scorecard reading 8/3 after 3 overs, it seemed to be anybody’s game. It was then that Virat Kohli brought India back into the match with his fantastic strokeplay and ability to assess the match situation calmly.
The right-handed at first quietly survived the difficult stage of amir’s fiery opening spell and then smashed the other Bowlers for boundaries later on. He was eventually dismissed at 49 but helped India register a 5-wicket win in a high-voltage match against the odds.
