With 22 Boundaries and a six, Virat dominated the mighty Pakistani bowling attack with classy ground-strokes and raised himself as a captaincy contender. Though India didn't qualify for the finals of the Asia Cup, this innings eventually gained him ICC ODI Player of the Year in 2012.
Incidentally, it was the last ODI match of Sachin Tendulkar, and the baton of Indian cricket passed on to Virat Kohli on that day!
