Rocked by the 22-year-old seamer in their chase of India's modest 133 for 9, Pakistan found their heroes in skipper Mohd Hafeez and Shoaib Malik as they sealed the tie in the final over, with two balls and as many five wickets in reserve.

India's gamble of playing the game without any frontline spinner -- offie R Ashwin and leggie Piyush Chawla were left out -- seemed to be paying off when 22-year-old Bhuvneshwar, a workhorse for Uttar Pradesh in domestic cricket, ripped through the Pakistan top-order with some high quality swing and seam bowling.

But, from 12 for 3 at the end of the third over, Pakistan known to be vulnerable when chasing small totals, turned it around for the second time in the game to complete a famous win and silence the near full house.

There was some drama towards the end, which started with the dismissal of Hafeez (61, 44b, 6x4, 2x6) after a brilliant 106-run fourth-wicket stand, but a calm and composed Malik (57 not out, 50b, 3x4, 3x6) brought off his third six when six runs were needed off the final three deliveries to ensure a winning start to their India tour. Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni had exhausted his fast bowling options by the time the final over came about and Ravinder Jadeja's spin was always unlikely to prevent the 10 runs required at that stage.
