Virat Kohli and KL Rahul started from where they left off yeaterday and hot centuries to help India post a mammoth 356 for two in 50 overs. While Kohli remained unbeaten on 122* off 94 balls, Rahul smashed 111* off 106 balls. The two stitched a record-breaking 233 runs. During Kohli’s knock, he became the fastest to 13,000 ODI runs. Kohli achieved the feat in 267 innings, surpassing Sachin Tendulkar, who had reached the milestone in 321 innings.
After posting a mammoth total, Jasprit Bumrah removed Imam-ul-Haq early to put pressure on them early. At the time of filing the copy, captain Babar Azam and Mohammed Rizwan have perished and Pakistan look in a spot of bother with Fakhar Zaman and Agha Salman in the middle.
