Fans on X reacted after the Indian Cricket Team thumped Pakistan by a massive margin of 228 runs in the Super Four game of the Asia Cup 2023 at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. The Men in Blue dominated the Babar Azam-led side in all three departments of the game and kick-started the Super Four stage on high.
India were put into bat first and they delivered exactly what was expected of them. Openers Rohit Sharma (56) and Shubman Gill (58) smashed magnificent half-centuries and added 121 runs partnership for the first wicket, which set the tone for the team.
Their brilliant opening partnership was backed by an even better stand by KL Rahul and Virat Kohli. They added an unbeaten 223 runs for the third wicket partnership and took the game away from the opposition. Both the batters played some unbelievable shots during their innings and made many stand and applaud him.
While Virat Kohli remained unbeaten on 122 runs KL Rahul scored 111*. Their valiant effort helped India post a mammoth total of 356 runs on the board. Pakistan bowlers were left clueless with the way they batted and they only managed two wickets.
India then kept things extremely tight with the ball as they bowled magnificently well and it seemed that Pakistan’s batters didn’t read them all. Jasprit Bumrah set the stage for his team with his unplayable first spell as he challenged the edges of the bat and bowled impeccable lines and lengths.
Jasprit Bumrah sent Imam-ul-Haq packing as first wicket for India before Babar Azam was bowled by Hardik Pandya. After that India kept chipping in with wickets quickly. Kuldeep Yadav was the chief architect with the ball for India as he made Pakistan batters look clueless.
Kuldeep Yadav picked up five wickets and conceded just 25 runs. His magnificent effort along with staggering bowling from pacers upfront helped India restrict Pakistan to just 128 runs. They won the game by a massive margin of 228 runs and kick-started the Super Four stage on high.

You hardly ever see a margin of 229 in an India-Pak game. So many positives for India in this game. Kuldeep, Bumrah, the bowling of Hardik, the form of Rahul and Virat. Set up by an excellent, positive opening partnership. Can't underestimate the value of that.
