Chasing a modest 242 for victory on a slow track, India’s captain Rohit Sharma (20) and Shubman Gill (46) led the charge before they were bowled by Shaheen Shah Afridi (2-74) and Abrar Ahmed (1-28) respectively.
Kohli (100no off 111 balls) and Shreyas Iyer (56) put on a blistering 114-run partnership to guide India to 244-4 in just 42.3 overs, with the former also making history in the field by taking his 158th ODI catch, an Indian record.

Earlier, Saud Shakeel (62) put on a slow and steady fight against an in-form India attack, sharing a 104-run with his captain Muhammad Rizwan (46), after Pakistan won the toss and inserted themselves.
However, India’s bowlers took regular wickets, with Kuldeep Yadav (3-40) striking twice in the same number of balls, and paired with their sharp fielding they bowled Pakistan out for 241 with two balls remaining.
After losing their opening match against New Zealand, tournament hosts Pakistan now sit at the bottom of the Group A table and are all but out of the Champions Trophy, while favourites India climb to the top with four points.
Both teams have one game left in the group stage as Pakistan take on Bangladesh on February 27 and India face New Zealand on March 2, live on Sky Sports Cricket.
