Roger Binny and Ravi Shastri then helped bowl Pakistan out for just 134 in 39.4 overs. Khanna effected two stumpings too. Scores: Ind 188-4 in 46 overs (Surinder Khanna 56, Sandeep Patil 43, Sunil Gavaskar 36*) beat Pak 134 in 39. 4 overs (Mohsin Khan 35; Roger Binny 3-33, Ravi Shastri 3-40) by 54 runs

In an interview to Star Sports, Kohli said: "For the first time in 10 years, I didn't touch my bat for a month. I came to realize that I was trying to fake my intensity a bit recently," Kohli stunned the cricketing world early on Saturday morning. "I was convincing myself that "no, you had the intensity'. But your body was telling you to stop. The mind was telling me to take a break and step back."
As India gear up for their opening Asia Cup encounter on Sunday against arch-rivals Pakistan, Rishabh Pant has been working on his power-hitting.

The southpaw on Saturday took to Instagram to share snippets of what he has been up to in the nets ahead of India's big game, and most of it involves sending the ball into orbit.
