In a 2014 Asia Cup encounter between India and Bangladesh at Fatullah, the visitors' skipper Virat Kohli won the toss and opted to field first.

Skipper Mushfiqur Rahim came out to bat at a time when Bangladesh were under pressure, having lost Shamsur Rahman and Mominul Haque for just 49 runs.

After making a cautious start Rahim (117) soon found his rhythm and made a bold statement with the bat to complete his 2nd ODI hundred as the hosts posted a target of 280.

In response, India were reduced to 54/2 in 12.5 overs, and that is when their stand-in skipper stood out with a 122-ball 136.

Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane (73) added 213 runs in 32.5 overs for the 3rd wicket to ensure India's win.

It was Kohli's 12th ton in a successful run chase and 19th overall in ODIs as India beat Bangladesh by 6 wickets with 6 balls remaining.

Interestingly, it was only the 2nd time in ODIs that both captains scored centuries in the same match.
