IND vs. PAK: Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, Team India shattered the pride of Pakistan on Monday night. The picture of the Indian team was a super hit in the match played in the Super-4 round of Asia Cup 2023. KL Rahul and Virat Kohli created havoc with the bat, while Kuldeep Yadav spun such a web of spin with the ball that the batsmen of the neighboring country got badly entangled. India tasted its biggest win in ODI cricket against Pakistan as they defeated Babar Azam & Co by 228 runs. Let us tell you five special things about the spectacular victory over Pakistan.
1. Rohit-Shubman's blast
The foundation of the resounding victory against Pakistan was laid by the pair of captain Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill. Rohit and Gill did not allow the fast bowlers of the neighboring country to dominate at all in the initial overs. While Rohit targeted Shaheen Afridi, Gill did not spare Naseem Shah and Harris Rauf. Rohit-Gill made a strong partnership of 121 runs for the first wicket and from here the Pakistan team went on the back foot.
2. Rahul-Kohli's blockbuster show
After losing the wickets of Rohit and Shubman Gill, the Indian team needed a partnership. In such a situation, the pair of KL Rahul and Virat Kohli took up the responsibility of sailing the team on the reserve day. Rahul, who returned to international cricket after about five months, started slowly but made a big splash after settling at the crease. At the same time, King Kohli's bat once again performed well against Pakistan. Rahul and Kohli made a record unbroken partnership of 233 runs for the third wicket, due to which the Indian team was successful in scoring 356 runs on the scoreboard. Kohli remained unbeaten on 122 and Rahul remained unbeaten on 111 runs.
3. Babar and Rizwan returned cheaply
The biggest threat to the Indian team was from the pair of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan. However, the bowlers of Team India neither allowed Babar Azam to stay on the crease for long nor did they allow Rizwan to establish himself. Hardik Pandya bowled Babar and showed him the way to the pavilion. At the same time, Rizwan was dismissed by Shardul Thakur on the score of just 2 runs.
4. Kuldeep's Claw
Kuldeep Yadav wreaked havoc with the ball. The batsmen of the Pakistan team succumbed very easily to the spin of Kuldeep. The Chinaman bowler spent only 25 runs in his 8-over spell and took five wickets. Kuldeep's magical spell made the match completely one-sided and sealed Team India's historic victory.
5. Tight bowling by fast bowlers
Team India's fast bowlers kept Pakistan's batsmen completely tied in the initial overs. Jasprit Bumrah did not give any chance to Imam ul Haq and Fakhar Zaman to open their hands. Bumrah showed Imam the way to the pavilion on the score of just 9 runs. Bumrah also got good support from Mohammad Siraj and Hardik Pandya from the other end.
