Pakistan boast a superior head-to-head record against India in one-day internationals overall but Kohli's team has dominated the most recent encounters.
The defeat left Pakistan ninth in the 10-team standings with just three points from five matches. Their only win at the tournament was against hosts England while their match against Sri Lanka was washed out.
Pakistan must win all four of their remaining group games to have any chance of reaching the World Cup semi-finals. They face South Africa at Lord's on Sunday before taking on New Zealand, Afghanistan and Bangladesh.
