The rivalry between India and Pakistan has always treated the crowd with many enthralling encounters over the years. Another addition to this mouth-watering rivalry was made during the final of the 2017 Champions Trophy. India had an uphill task of chasing 338 runs to defend their title and had lost Rohit Sharma in the very first over.
It was all down to India’s chase master and captain Virat Kohli to play another scintillating innings and take his team to victory. Kohli had to counter a dream spell by Mohammad Amir, who was breathing fire. A few balls into his innings, Amir outfoxed Kohli as he edged the ball straight to slip. But much to Amir’s dismay the catch was dropped. The speedster brushed the moment aside and ran in all over again, eager to take the prized scalp of Kohli.
He, once again, managed to find the edge of the bat as it went straight to point but this time the catch was taken. Nasser Hussain’s lines on the entire scenario made the moment even more precious for Pakistan fans. Hussain said “In the air again and gone. Not that important, he’s gone the next ball. Pakistan cricket at its best, one minute down next minute up.”
