The ongoing game between India and Pakistan at the Premadasa Stadium has been interrupted by rain after 24.1 overs. During the delay, Star Sports, the broadcasters for the Asia Cup 2023, showcased clips from past epic Indo-Pak encounters at the Asia Cup.
One of the clips featured Virat Kohli’s remarkable 183-run innings against Pakistan in the 2012 Asia Cup. Reacting to this innings, Gautam Gambhir hailed it as the greatest white-ball innings ever.
Gambhir emphasized that while several players have scored double centuries, Virat achieved this feat while chasing a target, and that too against Pakistan. Notably, Virat’s 183 runs helped India successfully chase down a target of 330 runs with 8-10 balls to spare.
