Virat, Sachin Congratulate India on Biggest-Ever Win Over Pakistan

“Always a joy to watch you both in full flow,” said Sachin Tendulkar after India beat Pakistan by 9 wickets.

Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma helped India register their biggest-ever win over Pakistan in the Super Four round of the Asia Cup on Sunday, 23 September. The duo scored a century each, and stitched a record 210-run opening partnership as the defending champions won by 9 wickets, their biggest victory margin against Pakistan in ODIs.

After Dhawan was run out for 114 in the 34th over, captain Rohit (111*) along with Ambati Rayudu (12*) helped India chase their 238-run target, and seal their fourth straight win in the tournament.

Regular skipper Virat Kohli, who has been rested for this tournament, congratulated the team on their “great win” while Sachin Tendulkar lauded the two openers.

Well done boys. What a joy to watch.Great win for us. Onwards and upwards 💪🇮🇳 #INDvPAK #AsiaCup2018
