The instance took place after the culmination of the India vs. Pakistan game. In the game, Virat Kohli (122) and KL Rahul (106) scored a century apiece to take India's total to a massive mark of 356 runs. After batting, Team India victimized Pakistan with the ball as well. It was Kuldeep Yadav, who turned out to be the star of the show with a 5 wicket haul. The 228-run win goes down as India's biggest over Pakistan in ODIs.
After Pakistan, it was the turn of Sri Lanka to face the challenge of India. Unlike Pakistan, Sri Lanka displayed some forebearance, yet, remained short by 41 runs. Yadav again became the pick of the bowlers and time snared 4 wickets.
