Top 5 individual scores at the Asia Cup

#1 Virat Kohli 183 vs PAK, 2012

Kohli's ODI magnum opus came against PAK in 2012.

A chase. Under lights. Against Pakistan. It has to be Kohli, right? Pakistan's openers, Jamshed and Hafeez, started off with a marathon 224-run partnership, with both of them slamming centuries. By the time Pakistan were done with their innings, the game looked to have been put to bed with 329 flashing on the scoreboard.

The second ball of the Indian chase, saw Hafeez trap Gambhir in front of his wickets. LBW. India 0/1, chasing 330. Kohli walked out, and in the company of the great Sachin Tendulkar, took the attack to Pakistan. The pair put on 133 together, and when Tendulkar exited, having played what would be his last ODI innings, another Mumbaikar in the form of Rohit Sharma joined Kohli and continued with the good work.

The pair put on 172 together. By the time Kohli became the fourth batsman to fall, he had his highest ODI score of 183- same Ganguly and Dhoni, and India's target had been reduced to 12 off 17 balls. Soon after, India completed their highest ODI run chase, shunning Pakistan to the ignominy of an embarrassing defeat.
