Virat Kohli surpasses Azharuddin’s record for most ODI catches for India. Kohli is also the third-highest scorer in the format behind Sachin Tendulkar and Kumar Sangakkara. Spinner Kuldeep Yadav becomes the fifth Indian spinner to claim 300 international wickets. Pakistan’s batters got off to a good start but struggled to maintain a solid run rate, with a 104-run stand between Saud Shakeel (62) and Mohammad Rizwan (46) being the only prominent feature of their innings. India will be hoping to complete the 242 run chase that stands in between them and a semi-final spot in the tournament. The Rohit Sharma led side had successfully chased a target of 229, on the same venue, in their opening game against Bangladesh but will have to survive the opening spell of lethal left-arm pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi and young pacer Naseem Shah alongside dangerous leg-spinner Abrar Ahmed.
