<\/div>\n“Just as you wash clothes in a dhobi ghat”: Sunil Gavaskar on India’s win vs Pakistan.\u00a9 Instagram<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Former Indian cricket team captain Sunil Gavaskar<\/a> was elated after the Rohit Sharma<\/a>-led side hammered Pakistan by 228 runs in an Asia Cup Super 4 clash on Monday. Virat Kohli<\/a> and the returning KL Rahul<\/a> scored unbeaten centuries as India posted a total of 356\/2 in 50 overs. In reply, Pakistan were bowled out for a paltry total of 128, with Kuldeep Yadav<\/a> taking a five-wicket haul. Gavaskar likened India’s big win over Pakistan to a washerman thrashing clothes at a laundry bay.<\/p>\n “Forget about the biggest victory, puri tarah se dhula diya (we just hammered them), just as you wash clothes in a dhobi ghat. If you are a good team, you don’t let the result of the previous match affect you. If they think too much about it, they won’t be able to concentrate on the next match. I don’t expect Pakistan to make such a mistake,” Gavaskar said on India Today.<\/p>\n While Rahul silenced his doubters in his appearance since May, Jasprit Bumrah<\/a> was also a force to reckon with, especially with the new ball.<\/p>\n Gavaskar was content to see Bumrah and Rahul back to full fitness.<\/p>\n “KL Rahul not only scored a century but also kept wickets. He made a big statement amid all the talk about his fitness. He proved that he is completely fit. Jasprit Bumrah, too, looked in great rhythm. His run-up looked good, and he swung the ball both ways. Even a world-class batter like Babar Azam<\/a> was unable to play him,” he added.<\/p>\n After the match was moved to the reserve day, Kohli top-scored with an unbeaten 122 while Rahul (111) announced his comeback with his 6th hundred in ODIs.<\/p>\n Kohli now has 47 ODI centuries to his name, only to less than India great Sachin Tendulkar<\/a>, who holds the record with 49 tons.<\/p>\n
