Leading the way was India’s vice captain and opener Rohit Sharma, who slammed a majestic 140 at the top of the order to lay foundation of a big score for the team. Rohit was in a class of his own as he hit the pedestrian Pakistani attack to all parts of the ground.

Adjudged Man of the Match for his second century of the tournament, Rohit was at the top of his game even while answering questions during the post match press conference.

When asked what advice he would give to the Pakistani batsmen by a journalist from across the border, Rohit had everyone in splits with his humorous response.

“Agar main Pakistan ka coach bana to main bataunga, abhi kya bataunga!(If I become the coach of Pakistan then surely I will tell you. What can I say now!),” replied Rohit.

Rohit has two centuries and one half-century to his name in the tournament so far from three innings and is currently the second highest run getter in the tournament behind Australian captain Aaron Finch.
