India battered Pakistan by 228 runs and registered their biggest one-day international (ODI) victory against the arch-rivals at the R.Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, on Sunday.
Chasing a target of 357 runs, Pakistan were restricted to 128-8 in 32 overs with Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf not coming out to bat due to injuries and only four batters scoring in double digits.
In a sorry batting display, Fakhar Zaman top-scored for Pakistan with 27 runs in 50 balls.
Meanwhile, Agha Salman and Iftikhar Ahmed scored 23 runs each.
Skipper Babar Azam could only score 10 runs as he was clean-bowled by Hardik Pandya.
This was India's biggest win against Pakistan by runs in ODIs. Meanwhile, it was Pakistan's second-heaviest defeat in ODIs against any team.
Batting first, India finished on 356-2 in their allotted 50 overs as Pakistan remained wicketless on the reserve day.
Kohli remained unbeaten on 122 runs in 94 balls with the help of nine fours and three sixes.
Meanwhile, Rahul was not out on 111 runs in 106 balls which included 14 boundaries.
