#4 Shoaib Malik 143 vs IND, 2004

India v Pakistan - ICC Champions Trophy
Shoaib Malik's love for Indian bowling began at the Asia Cup

That Shoaib Malik relishes the challenge of an India vs Pakistan game is no secret- 4 of his 9 ODI Centuries have come against India. The first of those came in this game at the Asia Cup of 2004.

Batting first, Pakistan lost Imran Nazir in the very first over, and in walked Malik. Batting steadily first with Yasir Hameed, and later with the likes of Inzamam and Yousuf, Malik helped Pakistan pile up 300/9 with a dashing 143 that consisted of sweeps of the seamers and forehand slaps over mid-off put the match well beyond India's reach, as Pakistan won the game by 59 runs.
