Asia Cup T20, India v Pakistan: Indian player ratings

3. Virat Kohli – 9.5:

Virat Kohli was India’s answer to Mohammad Amir’s brilliancy. Kohli came in with the scoreboard reading 2/2. The right-hander then batted cautiously and took full responsibility of the ongoings to enable India win the game eventually. Kohli faced a tough challenge from Amir, who looked like an unstoppable force yesterday. The Delhi lad treated him with respect and initially did not try to be flamboyant, playing him out smartly. He contributed 44 runs in the match-winning partnership of 68 runs stand with Yuvi to help India win the match with much fuss. He was, however, unfortunate to miss out on a half-century after he was dismissed at 49 in the 15th over.
