IND vs PAK: Rohit Sharma stars as India thrash Pakistan, make it 8-0 in ODI World Cups

Rohit Sharma-led Men in Blue produced a comprehensive show as they thrashed Pakistan by 7 wickets, finishing the game off inside 31 overs in Ahmedabad.

India's arch-rivals, Pakistan, who were sent in to bat first, fell by the wayside all of a sudden as the Indian bowlers ran riot at the Narendra Modi stadium with their dazzling performance. Pakistan, in fact, were cruising at 155-2 in the 30th over but collapsed to 191-10 in the next 13 overs. Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd Siraj, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Hardik Pandya - all took 2 wickets with Babar Azam emerging the top scorer with 50.

In reply, the chase turned out to be a cakewalk for India with the skipper leading by example, smashing a quickfire 86 in 63 balls. Apart from him, with a 16 in 11, Shubman Gill also made a starry World Cup debut after his 2-match dengue-induced rest.

After Rohit lost his wicket to Shaheen Afridi, Shreyas Iyer's unbeaten fifty ensured India registered their 8th straight win against Pakistan at the ODI World Cup, and also made it to the top of the World Cup 2023 points table.
