Electric start to the tour. Here is Siddhartha Talya's match report for you to read on your way out. Second T20 is in Ahmedabad on Friday. Join us then. Abhishek Purohit signing off.
Mohammad Hafeez, also the Man of the Match: "It is a great effort, we wanted to do well at the start of the series. Irfan was the surprise package for us and everybody. We knew that we had a good attack. We knew that Gul is always good with the old ball, they restricted India where we wanted them to. Once the spinners came on after the new ball, we knew we had a chance, we took a risk at the right time. It is a gift for the whole nation, it is Quaid day back home."
MS Dhoni: "If we would have got more runs ... We got a good start, fantastic effort by the openers, we kept losing wickets after that, 10 or 15 more runs we should have got easily. 145 would have been a safe score. But you have to pitch it up, not bowl short. That gamble was done three or four overs before that [on not having a fast bowler for the last over]. At that time, Pakistan were scoring at a high pace, we had to take that gamble."
What a match. What drama. Collapses, fightbacks, flare-ups, tension. India v Pakistan. You have been missed. Old Pakistan and old India on display today. India from 77 for 1 to 124 for 9, Pakistan from 12 for 3 to victory. The captain Mohammad Hafeez setting the tone for the tour with a refreshing breeze of an innings, and Shoaib Malik coming good against his favourite opposition yet again
Shoaib Malik: "We were struggling when the debutant bowler, I don't remember his name, took those early wickets, Hafeez played a brilliant innings. You are playing against India, pressure is always there, but you have to play according to the situation. [When asked whether one member of his family won't be happy] I scored runs, obviously everyone will be happy."
Mazher Arshad is around: "Shoaib Malik's first international 50 since getting married. And he has just chosen the right opposition to bring it on."
Paras: "Indian fast bowlers - 12-0-58-5, Indian part timers - 7.4-0-75-0,
Says it all, doesn't it?" Sigh, Paras, yes, it does, for probably the zillionth time. Dhoni packing the side with batsmen, and paying for it double, they didn't get the runs, and he didn't have the bowlers
SB: "Its not everyday that the man of the match sleeps on the couch!" The lot of married men
