Virat Kohli hit two sixes and eight fours in a career-best 78 not out to guide India to a crushing eight-wicket win over Pakistan in the Super Eights at the World Twenty20 on Sunday.
India chased down a below-par 128 scored by Pakistan with 18 balls to spare at R.Premadasa Stadium.
After losing Gautam Gambhir on the second ball of the innings, Kohli and Virender Sehwag (29) combined for a 74-run stand off 61 balls that virtually sealed the match for India.
