It’s nothing but interesting to see Pakistan host a tournament, but India ended up winning it. Well, that’s exactly what happened as India showcased their dominance in the recently concluded Champions Trophy, convincingly securing their third title and becoming the most successful team in the tournament’s history.
Following this win, the reaction from Pakistani cricket fans was expected. While some were seen fuming over their cricket board, others advised learning from India. For many, the scenario of PCB hosting the tournament and India lifting the trophy felt like salt in the wound.
Speaking about the Champions Trophy final, it was undoubtedly a thrilling contest. The 252-run target set by New Zealand seemed manageable when Rohit Sharma was at the crease. Rightly so, as the Indian captain played a crucial role in yesterday’s win, smashing the Black Caps’ bowlers all over the park and providing the team with a solid start alongside Shubman Gill.
However, after Rohit’s dismissal, there was a slight dip in the run rate, causing some concern about how to stabilise the innings. Fortunately, crucial partnerships from Axar Patel, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, and Hardik Pandya ensured that India crossed the finish line with flying colours.
Take a look at what Pakistani cricket fans are saying after witnessing India’s Champions Trophy triumph.
