After rain delays, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul hammered aggressive centuries against Pakistan on the reserve day. Their big third-wicket partnership exploited Pakistan's defensive tactics as they frequently rotated strikes. Kohli became the fastest to 13000 ODI runs, surpassing Tendulkar. India finished at 356/2, the highest runs against Pakistan in the ODIs. Kohli remained unbeaten on 122 (94 balls) and Rahul not out on 111 (116 balls). On Sunday before the washout, Gill and Rohit had flattened the bowling in a blistering opening stand. Heavy rain later forced the match to the reserve day. But weather forecasts remain bleak with precipitation chances above 70%.
