India vs Pakistan (2012)
Another famous encounter between India and Pakistan took place in the 2012 edition of the Asia Cup. Pakistan won the toss and opted to bat first at the Sher-e-Bangla National stadium. Openers Mohammed Hafeez and Nasir Jamshed Shamshad centuries to put their side in their driver’s seat. Pakistan finished with a mammoth 329/6 in their registered 50 overs.
India had the worst possible start as they lost Gautam Gambhir for 0 in the second ball of their innings itself. Virat Kohli who came in at no.3 stitched a beautiful 133-run partnership with Sachin Tendulkar before the latter was dismissed for 52. Virat then started batting Pakistan out of the game as he started to counterattack incredibly well and put the opposition bowlers under immense pressure.
He got ample support from Rohit Sharma who also scored a sublime half-century. Virat finished with an r cord breaking innings of 183 runs as he steered India to a comprehensive 6-wicket win.
