A look back to the game between India versus Pakistan
Pakistan won the toss and elected to field first, and the captain of team India Rohit Sharma started confidently by smashing a 6 but the bowling unit of Pakistan dominated over the batting lineup of India as Virat Kohli went back to the pavilion for just 4 while the captain of the side Rohit Sharma added 13 to the total.
