Kohli was star as India beat Pakistan in Dhaka

After a difficult tour of Australia, India arrived in Bangladesh for the four-nation Asia Cup, hoping to get back to winning ways.

Their campaign began on a positive note as they beat Sri Lanka, but in the next game, they were shocked by Bangladesh, which left them in a must-win scenario against Pakistan.

Batting first, the Men In Green took full advantage of some very shoddy Indian bowling, notching up 329 for 6 in their 50 overs with Mohammad Hafeez and Nasir Jamshed scoring centuries. In reply, India got off to the worst possible start, losing Gautam Gambhir for 0.

The latter, then, elevated his game by a couple of levels and in a display of sublime batsmanship, made 183 of the most glorious runs you could see to help India cross the line by 6 wickets and keep themselves in contention.

They, however, could not make it through to the final, as in the following game, Bangladesh beat Sri Lanka and made it to the final.
