At 100/2, Shreyas Iyer joined Virat Kohli, and the duo stitched together a game-changing century partnership that sealed Pakistan’s fate.
They never allowing the opposition to build pressure. Shreyas, after a steady start, accelerated to reach his half-century, while Kohli masterfully controlled the chase.
Once the target dropped below 100, runs flowed effortlessly. The only question was whether Kohli would complete his century, and the ‘Chase Master’ delivered in style – bringing up his 51st ODI ton, his fourth against Pakistan, with the winning runs.
