But as the play restarted on September 11, the former Royal Challengers Banglore duo lit up the R.Premadasa Stadium with the highest partnership in Asia Cup history. Rahul and Kohli scored centuries and helped the Indian team post a massive 356-run total.
Unfortunately for Pakistan, the Men in Green couldn't replicate India's heroics with the bat and were seen struggling at 47-3 in 11.4 overs. Soon after another rain delay, the Indian bowling led by Kuldeep Yadav ran through the remaining Pakistan batter to register a historic 229-run victory. Yadav picked up figures of 5-25 in eight overs.
