Speaking of the match, Virat Kohli notched up his 77th international ton off 84 balls. At the beginning of the play, he played the second fiddle role as KL Rahul was smashing Pakistan bowlers all around the park. Both of them put up an unbeaten partnership of 233* runs for the third wicket. KL Rahul also scored 111* runs off 106 balls while Kohli scored 122* runs, including nine fours and three sixes.

He also became the fastest batter in terms of innings (267) to cross the 13000-run mark in ODIs. He surpassed the former Team India great Sachin Tendulkar (321 innings). In ODIs, it was his 47th ton and seeing him breaking such records, fans also went crazy. However, both Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill also hit fifties as they put up a 121-run opening partnership in 16.4 overs. Thus, India scored their highest-ever total against Pakistan in a One-Day International.
