Virat Kohli scored an unbeaten 83, playing the best T20 knock of his career to power his team to last-over win against Pakistan.

Apart from Virat, Hardik Pandya (40) too played a crucial role in India's win. He added a match-winning 78-ball 113 run stand with Virat for fourth wicket.

Not only did Hardik shine with the bat, but he also proved to be lethal with the ball, finishing with figures of 3/30 in his four overs.

Pandya's fiery all-round heroics helped him become first Indian cricketer to score 1,000 runs and take 50 wickets in T20Is.

Hardik Pandya now has 1029 runs and 57 wickets in 74 T20Is for India.

Hardik Pandya is the seventh player overall to breach the 1000-run and 50-wicket milestone in T20 Internationals.
