India’s first match at the 2015 Cricket World Cup was against their arch-rivals Pakistan. Going into the match with 5 consecutive wins against the neighbouring country in World Cup matches, India continued their dominance by beating Pakistan by 76 runs.
Virat Kohli played a match winning knock of 107.

Only SRK posted a video message. It goes to show how legendary our king SRK is. No other bollywood star posted a video message.
The message given by OUR KING KHAN is awesome and best among all as always.I think salman-amir felt unhappy when Pakistan lost the match that’s why they couldn’t gave a single wish,lol.
Dhoni reminded Kohli:
Yeh Wahi Pakistan hai jahan ke ladke ko Anushka ne pyaar kiya that PK mein
and Kohli finally took revenge:p
Alia bhatt called up salman khan today and said Why is ur brother Sohail khan playing for Pakistan???
——-credit KRK
King khan and india rocks.Haters and pakistan shocks
Srk tweeted that is why india won.King rocks always.
Wow… No words
Well played team India 6-0, when the great Pakistani teams of the past couldn’t beat team India then it was highly unlikely that the present weak team of pak would do it and the future generation of paki cricketers look as good as the current Afghanistan cricket team , so it looks almost impossible for future paki team to come anywhere close to beating India in the major ICC events , queen haklu will never stop overacting & torturing the audience & the paki team will never stop losing & getting humiliated in the hands of India in the WC matches, the day when the lungi queen wins the national award (without buying it) that day pak would beat India in the WC which simply means both would never happen :)
Now all Indians will come here…and fight over salman and shah rukh’s films…Go ahead India…whatcha waiting for???
best luck for the world cup!
best of luck for the world cup!
Apart from big b lata didi ……… All flop actors like sushant , rampal have wished ……… Missed some few more floppies like Arjun kapoor , sidart malhutra ……!! ….
Not only Bollywood but the entire nation is erupted with joy.I wish their dominant performance continues in the coming matches
Today is a really happy day for every Indian . India maintains its invincible record of 6 – 0 . Pakistan has beaten India 72 times on the other hand India has beaten Pakistan 51 times but in WC we have a 100 % Record . This is a morale boosting win for India . Today every department performed brilliantly . The Batting is looking Solid, The Bowling is looking Superb also the Fielding is Amazing . Overall a Clinical Performance from Men In Blue !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now we have a even bigger challenge on 22nd when we will face SA and that is a really important game for both of us . An interesting fact is just like Pakistan India has never beaten SA in World Cup . So can we break that jinx next week ? Only Time will tell………………..
All The Best To Team India and Continue The Good Work You Have Done Today . # India Rocks !!!!!!!!!!!!! Proud To Be An Indian !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yippee!!!!
This is called TEAM WORK!!!!!!!WHOLE TEAM played exceptionally well!!!!HOPE this way our team plays & brings back cup HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think credit of putting such a big score goes more to raina as he accelerated the pace at the right moment otherwise our total wud b restricted upto 270-275 & pak had more chance 2 chase this total.thumps up 2 raina & shikhar!!!!!
Our real test will be against south-africa.
COME ON INDIA WE WANT CUP BACK!!!!
hurrah!India hv won.hope they win the world cup
btw,y is only srk’s tweet showed in big letters?
srk sir nice wish!
@Babaji @Nipun @Ajay Rocks
I just checked your older tweets about me. One of you even called me “Chameleon Master.” Let me tell you that I haven’t used Armaan ID to bash Sambuddha. Nor have I used Ramu Kaka to troll Megha. The only troll ID I have used is Babuji ka thullu.
I haven’t hosted Indicine Awards which you guys were talking about. I have used only 1 troll ID i.e. Babuji. I am not an active member on Twitter, but I check it once in a while. Stop spreading rumours about me!! I am watching you!
It was obvious India would win. Pakistan is not as tough as it was in past. Australia and South Africa are our toughest competitors.
SRK fanatics are so stupid that they are lauding their GOD for India’s win.
Ch**iyapa ki hadd hi ho gyi. ?
Hurrah. great win.
Hahaha, Its 6-0, India reign supreme once again,pak couldn’t beat single time India in WC single time and they are that they would get back Kashmir.ROFL.
After a long time I had seen complete odi match and enjoyed every moment.What a performance by Indian team in every department and Kohli proved that he is our best bet at WC.
@sss engineering genius who thrown out by college why are you pointing Aamir here,let me remind you Aamir was present in stadium in last WC two times, First in semi final against Pak in mohali,second in final and it shows how much he loves India and its people.Other hand srk said pak players should allow to play in IPL after Mumbai terror attack.Laga jhatka ( sorry tujhe to pehle se laga hua h) complan boy.
Cheers
@sss second thought the comment of srk was before starting of the match what about after the match.Lol.
@saksham but India and SA faced each other twice in world cup as far as I remember first in 1999 and second in 2011, both time SA won and this time they also looks stronger.Will be exciting match on next Sunday.
Badhai ho India & I’m a diehard fan of Indian cricket team. Big B’s commentry was fantastic
Well done India need 2015 World Cup. Little sad for Rohit. But happy for virat. These two are my all time fevorite from india
team India well done
@Indicine Why is no one saying the collections of Messenger a it should gross highest first day collections. You said the theatres were full!!!
Look at the comment from one srk fan. India won just because Srk tweeted it seems. There is also a limit for stupidity n fanaticsm. It like srk Baba’s tweet was like some ashirwad n poor indian players have to give away credit of their win to one tweet. That day will not be far when srk fans will say : Srk is the first person on earth who started tweeting since 1992 coz thats when India defeated Pakistan for the first time in a world cup !!!!!!!!!!!!
Awwwww up INDIA!! we feel u right here in NIGERIA!!! we wish u more n more success!! Bring back d trophy!!!
@PAKISTANIS… 4 bashing and critizing d movie BABY…. India showed u guys how to get spanked on your bums 6 times without a reply!!!
