VK 28: Best images from Virat Kohli's memorable career so far

#7 Slaying the arch-rivals

Kohli exults after helping India vanquish Pakistan in the 2012 Asia Cup

Having lost to Bangladesh in the previous match, India were taking on their arch-rivals in a crucial clash at the 2012 Asia Cup. Centuries from Nasir Jamshed and Mohammad Hafeez propelled Pakistan to 329 on a batting-friendly surface.

The Indians got off to the worst possible start with opener Gautam Gambhir departing for a duck in the very second ball of the innings. However, Kohli allayed all fears and took control of the chase by stitching together vital partnerships en route to his sublime 148-ball 183.
