10 things Virat Kohli did to beat Pakistan
March 18, 2012 22:30
Virat Kohli staged India's epic win against Pakistan with his own epic innings of 183. The highest ever by an Indian against Pakistan, Kohli was the epitome of focus and resolve in the face of 329 runs set as target for his team.

On Sunday, Virat Kohli came to the middle in the first over itself after Gautam Gambhir was dismissed. He didn't press the panic button; that would have been uncharacteristic. He chose to anchor himself in.
Here are 10 things Kohli did in his mammoth innings of 183 to help India comprehensively beat Pakistan by six wickets.

1) The 23-year-old played a strategic match winning game. When Pakistan were piling up the runs, he took two vital catches. Then, when he came in to bat, he played second-fiddle to the much more experienced Sachin Tendulkar for the first part of his innings keeping his score ticking. After Ajmal dismissed Tendulkar, Kohli shifted gears, took the lead and played the match as per his now well-known ability and repute.
