Virat Kohli adjudged POTM
"I was going to ask you to keep the interview short, I'm very tired. I'm always prepared to help the team in different ways. Today, KL got a great start and my job was just to rotate strike. I take a lot of pride on trying to push for easy runs, pushing for a double is as easy as they come. (On the reverse ramp boundary) Because I crossed the 100, there was a bit of respect for that shot. I don't play shots like that and I looked very bad playing it. Me and KL are both conventional cricketers, we don't try fancy stuff but we can get a lot of purchase through good cricket shots. Great partnership and good signs for Indian cricket. Very happy for him to come back to ODI cricket in that manner. (On playing again tomorrow) I was pushing for those runs and happy for it, but I was thinking I need to play at 3 pm tomorrow. Luckily, we are Test players, I've played over a 100 Tests so I know how to come back and play the next day. It was really humid out there, I'm 35 in November so I need to be taking care of that recovery as well (chuckles). A big shout out to the groundsmen from my side, I think they did a fabulous job," Virat mentioned.
Winning captain Rohit Sharma said:
"We just wanted to get out on the park, to get some game time. Lot of guys haven't had that. That could only happen thanks to a great effort from the groundsmen. I know how tough it is to cover and remove covers from the whole ground. On behalf of the entire team, we would like to thank them. (On batting) Fantastic performance, right from yesterday. When we started, we knew the wicket was good and we had to adjust with the rain, the two experienced (Kohli an Rahul) guys we knew they'd take time to get their eye in and then we can get going. (On Bumrah) Looked good, he swung it both ways and he's worked really hard for the last 8-10 months. Bumrah is only 27, for him to miss games isn't ideal but the way he bowled showed what he is all about. Looking at how we batted, there were lots of positives with the openers and then Virat and KL. Virat's innings was brilliantly paced. And then KL, to get back from injury and then to know 5 minutes before the toss he's playing, to play that way shows the mindset of the player," Rohit said.

Losing skipper Babar Azam said:
"Weather was not in our hands but we tried our best. We were not up to the mark with our batting and bowling. They (Indian openers) had plans for our bowlers and started well and that was followed up by Virat and Rahul. Jasprit and Siraj bowled well in the first 10 overs and swung the ball both ways, but our batting was not up to the mark," Azam said.

FIVE FOR KULDEEP!
Kuldeep Yadav picks up the wicket of Faheem Ashraf and the game is done and dusted with that. Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf won't bat due to their respective injuries. India won by 228 runs.
Two runs off that over
Pakistan are 121/7 after 31 overs.
Silent performer!
Despite a brilliant spell of bowling, Kuldeep Yadav's role in today's game will be overshadowed by Kohli and Rahul's tons.

He is a true silent performer in many ways.#KuldeepYadav #INDvsPAK
KULDEEP STRIKES AGAIN!
THe spin wizard sends Iftikhar back to the pavilion this time. Four wickets to his name now. Pakistan on the verge of an embarrassing defeat.
KL x Kuldeep connection
Rahul had a chat with Kuldeep before the ball and the next ball he got Shadab.
