Kohli 57 , Pant 39; Shaheen 3-31Pakistan hammered India by 10 wickets to claim a famous win over their great rivals at the Men's T20 World Cup in Dubai.
Virat Kohli had earlier made 57 to anchor India in their 151-7, despite a thrilling 3-31 from fast bowler Shaheen Afridi. Not only was history against them, but Pakistan have had a tumultuous build-up to the World Cup, with coaches stepping down and England and New Zealand withdrawing from tours of the country.
They flayed the bowling all around the ground and their running - not always a strong suit of Pakistan - was good, both players aware to quick singles. Kohli was quick to offer his congratulations to Rizwan and Azam, with the two captains sharing a hug, before the players ran to their teammates to celebrate together.India went into this tournament with many of their players in good form after the second half of the Indian Premier League, which was played in the UAE, finished a few weeks ago.
Kohli, who will step down as T20 captain at the end of this tournament, is one of the most combative figures in cricket; a player who relishes the fight and the chance to dig his side out of a hole.

How can the Indian Premier League claim to be the premier T20 tournament without any of these stellar players from Pakistan?
This performance is a slap on the leaders of world cricket who keep isolating Pakistan at a global level. Take that!!
NZ pulled out last minute. England didn't even tour. Instead of two intl series, played domestic T20s to prepare. Coaches resigned. CEO resigned. Lost the warm up game. And then beat Ind for the 1st time in a mens World Cup. By 10 wickets. Just Pakistan being Pakistan. INDvPAK
Last week Indian cricketers and commentators were saying that Pakistan should give them a “walk over”. Pakistan did it today. We walked all over them. 10 wickets win is historic.
3 lions are next don't worry
Wishes from India to pakistan brothers .. Well played ❤️❤️
