Watch: On this day, Virat Kohli blows Pakistan away, registers highest ODI score

Virat Kohli pulled off a masterpiece on this day on March 18, 2012 against Pakistan. The arch-rivals Pakistan amassed 329 for 6 with both their openers scoring hundreds.

In reply, India were tottering at one point. Virat Kohli, after Hobart heroics barely three weeks ago, pulled off another blinder hitting Pakistan bowlers at will. Kohli’s dominance was so complete, it left contrasting support performances from Sachin Tendulkar and Rohit Sharma in the shade.
