However, it wasn't enough to please the legendary opener Sunil Gavaskar, who blasted Virat Kohli for an immature act during the match that could have resulted in his dismissal. However, he was able to escape as nobody in the Pakistan team appealed.
The incident happened during the 21st over of the second innings when India were batting. Virat Kohli tried to take a quick single off the fast bowler Haris Rauf after playing the ball between cover and point.
It was unusual to see a player of the stature of Kohli make such an immature mistake as he is a cricketer with great game awareness. He could have easily been dismissed at that point had Pakistan appealed for obstructing the field.

Kohli was batting on 42 at that point and India were 116-2 with Shreyas Iyer still new to the crease. His wicket could have made things difficult for India but the 36-year-old was lucky to survive.

He started the innings in his usual fashion without taking any undue risks. He rotated the strike constantly and made sure to pick up singles and doubles. The 36-year-old completed his hundred with the final ball of the match as he smashed Khushdil Shah for a four through covers.
He finished unbeaten on 100 off 111 balls with 7 fours. Kohli collected 72 runs through running between the wickets which shows his immense fitness level. With this win, India have reached closer to a spot in the semi-final while Pakistan are on the brink of an exit.
