Team India received huge appreciation from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) after registering the biggest victory over arch-rival Pakistan in the Super 4 tie of the ongoing Asia Cup at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday.

Board’s acting president CK Khanna, who arrived at the venue to watch the game, stated that he is certain that the side will win the tournament.

 “It is a big victory. Series of India's win over Pakistan continues. The performance of the Indian team in the Asia Cup has been magnificent. The way our team is playing so confidently, I'm certain that the day isn't far when we get the Asia Cup home,” said Khanna.

He also praised India's stand-in skipper Rohit Sharma and opener Shikhar Dhawan for their brilliant batting performance against Pakistan.

“The opening pair is emerging out as one of the best opening pairs in the world,” he added.

Sharma and Dhawan stitched together an impressive 210-run partnership at the top as their side notched up a convincing win over Pakistan with 63 balls to spare.

This massive partnership was the best opening stand by India against Pakistan. It was also India's biggest win in terms of wickets against Pakistan in One-Day Internationals.
