India beat Pakistan by five wickets in the Asia Cup 2016 contest in Mirpur on Saturday. The win was set up by the bowlers who bundled out the neighbours for just 83 and then Virat Kohli, who played a patient hand and weathered the Mohammad Amir storm early in the chase. For India, bowlers were on the mark but it was Hardik Pandya who stood out with figures of 3/8. #IndvsPak trended throughout the day, and here’s a look at who said what about India’s win on Twitter: (Photos: The Kohli calm after Amir storm)

Virat Kohli will play many big innings but he will remember this one with great warmth. He showed his class today. Again.
