Asia Cup: How India blew away Pakistan in rain-marred Super 4 contest

It took them two days, but an all-round Indian team outclassed arch-rivals Pakistan in their rain-marred opening Asia Cup Super Four match at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Monday. Rain forced the high-profile contest to reserve day and India came out triumphant by a massive 228 runs to collect two points in the Super 4 stage. It was India's biggest win margin, in terms of runs, against Pakistan in ODIs. With the huge victory, India jumped to the top of the Super Fours standings on superior Net Run Rate (NRR) as Sri Lanka and Pakistan too have two points each. Only Bangladesh are without a point in Super 4s so far.

I was going to ask you to keep the interview short, I'm very tired. I'm always prepared to help the team in different ways. Today, KL got a great start and my job was just to rotate strike. I take a lot of pride in trying to push for easy runs, pushing for a double is as easy as they come. Because I crossed the 100, there was a bit of respect for that shot. I don't play that and I looked very bad playing it. Me and KL are both conventional cricketers, we don't try fancy stuff but we can get a lot of purchase through good cricket shots. Great partnership and good signs for Indian cricket. I was pushing for those runs and happy about it, but I was thinking I need to play at 3 pm tomorrow. Luckily, we are Test players so I know how to come back and play the next day. It was really humid out there, I'm 35 in November so I need to be taking care of that recovery as well (chuckles). A big shout out to the groundsmen from my side, I think they did a fabulous job.

- Player of the Match: Virat Kohli (122* off 94)

23:23 (IST), Sep, 11

We just wanted to get out on the park, to get some game time. Lot of guys haven't had that. That could only happen thanks to a great effort from the groundsmen. I know how tough it is to cover and remove covers from the whole ground. On behalf of the entire team, we would like to thank them. (On batting) Fantastic performance, right from yesterday. When we started, we knew the wicket was good and we had to adjust with the rain. The two experienced guys knew they'd take time to get their eyes in and then we could get going. (On Bumrah) Looked good, he swung it both ways and he's worked really hard for the last 8-10 months. Bumrah is only 27, for him to miss games isn't ideal but the way he bowled showed what he is all about. Looking at how we batted, there were lots of positives with the openers and then Virat and KL. Virat's innings was brilliantly paced. And then KL, at the last minute to get back from injury and play 5 minutes before the toss, we told him to get ready. Shows the mindset of the player.

- India skipper Rohit Sharma

23:07 (IST), Sep, 11

Weather was not in our hands but we tried our best. We were not up to the mark with our batting and bowling. They (Indian openers) had plans for our bowlers and started well and that was followed up by Virat and Rahul. Jasprit and Siraj bowled well in the first 10 overs and swung the ball both ways, but our batting was not up to the mark.

- Pakistan captain Babar Azam

23:06 (IST), Sep, 11

Very happy at the moment. It is the consistency from the last one and half years, I have got my rhythm back and am enjoying my bowling. It is good to get five wickets, I am just thinking about bowling at a good length. It is amazing to get 5 wickets in ODIs or Tests. I have my plans when playing against the top sides. I have played against them (Pakistan) in 2019 and know their strengths, but I bowled to my strengths. I am focusing on bowling wicket to wicket, good sides try to sweep or slog sweep or sweep and give me a chance to get wickets.

- Kuldeep Yadav (8-0-25-5)
