#2 Virat Kohli 183 (148) vs Pakistan at Dhaka, Asia Cup 2012
Pakistan 329/6, India 330/4 in 47.5 overs

Playing under pressure always brings the best out of Virat Kohli. This was another such occasion for him. India, having lost to Bangladesh in their previous game, faced a must-win situation. Pakistan batted first and put up a huge total of 329 which included twin hundreds from Mohammad Hafeez and Nasir Jamshed.
India got off to the worst possible start, losing Gambhir in the first over with no runs on board. Virat Kohli walked in at no. 3. The stage was set for another master-class from the master chaser. He added 133 runs for the second wicket with Sachin Tendulkar (who scored 52) and then another 172 runs for the third wicket alongside Rohit Sharma (who scored 68).
Kohli was eventually dismissed for 183 off just 148 balls. This knock, played against the likes of Umar Gul, Wahab Riaz and Saeed Ajmal, ensured that India overhauled the target with 13 balls to spare, thus staying alive in Asia Cup.
