Kohli led the way with 107 from 126 balls, his 22nd ODI century, and he got support from Shikhar Dhawan (73) and Suresh Raina (74).
After the loss of Rohit Sharma (15) in the eighth over with 34 on the board, Dhawan and Kohli led the recovery.
They put on 129 in 22.2 overs, with opener Dhawan hitting seven boundaries and a six before being run out at the non-striker’s end after his partner sent him back.
Kohli brought up his ton off 119 balls and eight boundaries in total before becoming Sohail Khan’s second victim when caught behind in the 46th over.
A flurry of wickets ensued as India added just 27 in the final five overs with Khan finishing with figures of 5-55 as Raina, Mahendra Singh Dhoni (18), Ravindra Jadeja (3) and Ajinkya Rahane (0) also departed.
Pakistan’s reply started badly as Mohammed Shami had Younis Khan caught behind for six in the fourth over.
Ahmed Shehzad and Haris Sohail built a solid foundation by putting on 68 for the second wicket, but the latter went for 36, caught at slip off Ravi Ashwin.
Shehzad’s dismissal for 47 was followed next ball by Sohaib Maqsood, as Umesh Yadav made a double strike, and Umar Akmal also went for a duck in the next over.
Captain Misbah-ul-Haq did his best to guide the tail but Mohammed Shami took three wickets, and when the skipper departed for 76 in the 46th over, the game was effectively over.
Shami took 4-35 and Mohit Sharma finished the match by dismissing Sohail in the 47th over.
India face South Africa in seven days' time, while Pakistan will look to regroup against West Indies on Saturday.
