One cannot breathe out a sigh of relief without seeing the back of the Chasemaster while defending any total, let alone a 210+ total. Yet again it was the Indian captain who was present to see his team through in a chase. Yet again, he was phenomenal in a chase as he too remained unbeaten at 82 off just 70 balls.

He also treated the viewers with 10 delightful boundary and a maximum,  striking the ball at 117. He now has 44 half centuries in ODI cricket to go along with 28 tons. With help of a mammoth Dhawan-Kohli partnership of 197 runs in 23.5 overs, India created history as it was the biggest win for the Indians in terms of balls remaining (127).
