Pakistan displayed a poor fielding performance as they missed several catches and their ground fielding was also sloppy.
While addressing mediapersons during post match press conference, Kohli asserted that Yuvi bated superb at very crucial stage. We bowled a really good over and then we bowled a variation with our sixth ball and that's the ball that ended up going for a boundary.
A headline in The Hindu read "India knocks the stuffing out of Pakistan" with the newspaper calling the recent cricketing rivalry between the two neighbours "anything but competitive". The two sides have not played a bilateral series since 2012-2013, and India have used to juggle with the idea without an end to "cross border terrorism", which essentially means militant incursions along the disputed Kashmir border.
"But when he got out, I chose to stay still and just back the strokes that I have and a few connected, and that's what happens in this sport. The way Yuvi has come back and scored in the last series and now taking the initiative in this game, it's been lovely to see". "And eventually we did pretty well and won it", he further added.

James finished with 31 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists and on one trip threw the ball off the backboard to himself for a dunk. Kevin Love added 23 as the Cavs' Big Three combined for 94 points in Cleveland's most complete offensive game of the series.
Man-of-the-Match Yuvraj was happy that he could capitalise on the chances offered by the Pakistanis.
Arthur lamented that the team were doing the simple things wrong: "The worrying thing for me, and it has been for a period of time, is we just do the basics wrong". You just have to go and back yourself, and tell the opposition that you're here to attack.
It was only after he had been dropped on 43 that Kohli stepped on the gas and hit three sixes. "The way Yuvi batted, it was a game-changing innings and that gave all of us the confidence to start striking the ball well".
The 23-year-old was chosen to go in ahead of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, a One-Day International legend, and Kedar Jadhav, who has built a growing reputation as an inventive and big-hitting limited-overs batsman. And we switched in the end. We thought we had an attack that could really attack them and put them under pressure. Apart from this, Yuvraj also equaled the record set by Sachin Tendulkar of being a part of ICC Champions Trophy five times.
