India v Pakistan - 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup
Kohli and Dhawan eased India to an easy target

A run a ball partnership between Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan ensured that India faced little hiccups in overcoming a rather meagre total. Kagiso Rabada struck early to remove Rohit Sharma, but the Proteas still had to get past the most thoroughbred run-chase in ODI cricket.

None of South Africa's bowlers had a clue on getting past Dhawan and Kohli and the duo raced away to give India a 2-0 lead in the series. While South Africa's own wrist spinners had no idea where to bowl, India's spectacular duo made them pay, hardly breaking a sweat in the process.
