The Match 4 of Group B was expected to be the most watched encounter in the history of cricket.India win by 76 runs with Sohail Khan falling to Mohit. Men in blue maintain their dominance against Pakistan in World Cups. Kohli is man of the match! "It was tough to stay focused for this match. That's how big it was. But that is what we need to do as international players," he says. "We spoke of what our roles are in the team before this match and I am glad I played my part today.
Pakistan had erred by dropping Sachin Tendulkar – India’s highest run-scorer in 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup – five times that last time the two sides played in a World Cup match. This time, they dropped Virat Kohli – the best player in the current Indian side, twice. Call it luck or a matter of nerves, Pakistan ends up paying for the costly dropped catches. These catches often prove the difference in these high-tension close encounters. Virat Kohli took full advantage of this and put on a half-century. Not just that, he also added a century stand with Shikhar Dhawan for the second wicket and helped India take control of the innings.
