#1 Nehra\'s aeroplane

Ashish Nehra celebrating after the dismissal of Mohammad Hafeez at the Asia Cup T20 cricket tournament at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka. He provided India the much-needed start in his very first over itself. Hafeez was caught behind by MS Dhoni with only four runs in his pocket.

The whole team didn’t take much time to reach to Nehra for congratulating him for his first wicket in the match.

#2 Kohli\'s fast fielding efforts

This is how Virat Kohli reacted after the running out Khurram Manzoor during yesterday’s Asia Cup clash. Manzoor was struggling, he made 10 off 18 balls and never looked comfortable at the crease. His painful stay was brought to an end by Kohli.

#3 Yuvraj\'s first ball wicket

Yuvraj Singh’s first delivery in the match produced a wicket for India as Umar Akmal was out LBW. The contest soon became no-contest as Pakistan were 35 for the loss of 5 wickets after 7.1 overs.

Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina didn’t miss the opportunity to climb Yuvraj and celebrate Akmal’s dismissal.

#4 Pandya\'s mighty jump

What a performance and celebration it was from Hardik Pandya. He didn’t give Pakistan any space to breathe yesterday. His jumps are getting higher and higher after every match. This was after he got Shoaib Malik’s wicket in his first over.

Pandya bowled 14 dot deliveries in his quota of 3.3 overs in the match. He also got 3 wickets and gave 8 runs.

Middle stump cartwheeling is the best visual for any bowler

He clean bowled Mohammad Amir’s middle stump as Pakistan got all out for just 83 runs in 17.3 overs. Eventually, he was also the highest wicket-taker for India.

#5 No \'Boom-Boom\' Afridi

There was no ‘Boom-Boom’ in yesterday’s game by Pakistan’s captain Shahid Afridi as was sent back to the pavilion after getting run out by Ravindra Jadeja. He could only manage to score 2 runs in the match.

#6 Amir storm

What a dream start Pakistan got while defending a minor target of 84 runs against mighty India. Mohammad Amir sent back Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane in first over of the Indian innings itself. Both the openers failed to open their account and were dismissed LBW in almost same fashion as if it was an action reply.

But, Amir didn’t stop there only, he continued and got rid of in-form Suresh Raina in his second over of the match. His swing plus pace deliveries proved too good for the Indian batsmen. No was even able to properly strike the ball until Virat Kohli came hit him for two boundaries in his last over of the spell. India were reduced to 8 for 3 in 2.3 overs.

#7 Kohli\'s match-winning knock

Then came Virat Kohli. He took his time initially, but soon he started striking the ball beautifully. Kohli played a match winning knock of 51-ball 49 runs and made sure India will get home easily in the end.

Yuvraj Singh, who was troubled by almost all the Pakistani fast bowlers, partnered Kohli in a 68-run partnership.

Kohli was finally dismissed LBW by Mohammad Sami. He was unhappy with the decision as he thought there was a clear inside edge and walked off with a wry smile.

The right-hander missed his half-century by just 1 runs, but his work was done as he brought back India in India with minimal runs required to win.

He was also awarded Man-of-the-Match for his brilliant innings.

#8 The finisher

‘Captain Cool’ MS Dhoni came in the end and scored his favourite winning runs to march India to another T20I victory. He has proved from time to time that he is one of the best finishers in the history of Indian cricket team.

What an end we saw yesterday, just like it happened in ICC World Cup 2011 in India. Dhoni finishing it off in style with Yuvraj Singh celebrating of the non-striker’s end.
