Team India’s victory over Pakistan wasn’t just any ordinary win — it was a sweet revenge after eight years, virtually securing India’s spot in the semifinals of the Champions Trophy.
On this day, Virat Kohli delivered a magnificent century against Pakistan.
Not only that, Kohli also crossed the 14,000-run mark in One Day Internationals (ODIs) and remained unbeaten at the end of the match.
Additionally, Shreyas Iyer scored a solid half-century.
Following this defeat, Pakistan is now on the verge of elimination from this year’s Champions Trophy.
Eight years ago, Pakistan had defeated India in the final of the Champions Trophy held in England in 2017.
It seems India has taken fitting revenge today.
Batting second, India initially suffered an early setback with Rohit Sharma getting out after scoring 20 runs off 15 balls.
Kohli then came to bat and began building his innings with singles, a hallmark of his style.
Gradually, understanding the match situation, he accelerated the scoring.
On Sunday, Kohli once again followed that plan perfectly and led India to victory.
In recent months, Kohli had faced a lot of criticism over his batting form, but he had been patiently waiting for the right moment to respond.
Today’s match against Pakistan proved to be the perfect stage for that comeback.
Against bowlers like Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf, Kohli truly ruled the pitch.
