During the chase, India lost 4 wickets for just 31 runs and looked to be in all sorts of bother. This is when Virat Kohli joined hands with Hardik Pandya to take India out of trouble with their partnership of 113 runs for the 5th wicket. It all came down to 16 to get in the last over. Virat Kohli was the man of the moment as he made things possible by hitting Nawaz for a six on a no ball and Ashwin did the formality of hitting winning runs in the end, as India beat Pakistan by 4 wickets.
