India 185-3 (20 ovs) vs Pakistan

Gul to bowl the final over of the match. Kohli and Yuvraj take a single each from the first two balls before the right-hander is beaten off the third ball.

Kohli then slaps the next ball behind point using his wrists to good effect for a boundary. He flicks the fifth delivery to the midwicket region to get two runs and the innings with a single to sweeper cover.

Kohli finished with a magnificent innings of 75 from 47 balls, hitting seven fours and two sixes, playing just proper cricketing shots and not resorting to the ugly hoicks or slogs.

India must be feeling confident after such a commanding batting display and their bowlers will be happy to defend his huge total. But in a T20 match, no total is ever safe and Pakistan have a few batsmen in their line-up who can take on the bowlers too. So an interesting battle coming up after the innings break. Stay tuned.
