The defending champions put up a huge score as the likes of Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma gave a superb platform for the team. Man of the match, Yuvraj Singh played a gem of an innings, providing brilliant support to captain Kohli, as the Indian batsmen trashed the Pakistan attack all over the ground.
