On the reverse day, Colombo got served with the Virat Kohli-KL Rahul show as the Indian batters thumped the Pakistani bowling across the park with a legendary 233*-run stand to push India's total to 356/2 in the Super-4 fixture of the Asia Cup 2023.
Both the batters, who were struggling to prove a point before the fixture, slammed their individual centuries. KL Rahul, returning to professional cricket after 5 months, made his comeback a dream comeback after registering his 7th ODI hundred. Meanwhile, King Kohli registered a three-figure mark against Pakistan after 8 years, standing just two tons shy of Sachin Tendulkar's landmark milestone of 49 centuries.
On Monday, Kohli and Rahul shared 233 runs - a partnership that is the highest for India against Pakistan for any wicket. Meanwhile, the duo also pushed the Indian total to an above-par score of 356-2, which is also the highest for Men in Blue against their arch-rivals in the ODI format, breaking the 18-year-old slammed by Sourav Ganguly and company.
Talking about the ongoing fixture between India versus Pakistan, the openers - Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill - gave the Men in Blue a stupendous start, sharing 121-run stand within 17.1 overs. However, after losing two quick wickets, Kohli and Rahul didn't gave the Men in Green a breather.
