Virat Kohli’s stormy innings

Pakistan lost with a big margin of 228 runs
Kuldeep Yadav broke into havoc on Pakistan to chase the target of 357 runs from India. Set up half the team alone. He took 5 wickets for 25 runs in 8 overs in this match. Pakistan captain Babar Azam was dismissed for just 10 runs. The entire team was reduced to just 128 runs. Fakhar Jaman played the biggest 27 -run innings for the team. The big loss of 228 runs brought such a push to Pakistan captain Babar Azam that he has now been out of the Asia Cup team. After the defeat of the team, the fans started demanding to remove them. Babar Azam, who captained the three formats, is struggling to make a place in the team today.
