In response, Pakistan could only produce 128 runs before being all out, giving India a record-breaking victory margin of 228 runs.
Kohli came to bat against Sri Lanka after Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill got the side off to a good start. Before Gill was out for 19, the pair enjoyed a quick 80-run partnership. With the expectation of another huge contribution from Kohli, the batting master struggled to establish his form, scoring only 3 runs off 12 balls before being removed.
