India v Pakistan: Calcutta's Reaction

Sportsworld

Available for over a year

Rahul Tandon tells us that "everyone's smiling" after India's win over Pakistan in their opening game of the Cricket World Cup. Virat Kohli compiled a composed hundred to help defending champions India begin the World Cup with a 76-run victory over fierce rivals Pakistan. Kohli made 107 and shared century stands with both Shikhar Dhawan (73) and Suresh Raina (74) at the Adelaide Oval. Pakistan looked to have dragged themselves back into the game by restricting India to a reachable 300-7. But a chase that never gained momentum was wrecked by a collapse of three wickets for one run and they eventually stumbled to 224 all out. India's win earns national pride in what was billed as the most watched cricket match of all time, with an estimated television audience of one billion, and extends their World Cup record against Pakistan to six wins from as many matches. This Clip is from Sportsworld on Saturday 15 February 2015.
