Pakistan registered a thumping win against India in the final of ICC Champions Trophy 2017. Pakistan came back very strongly in the tournament after losing the first match against India. Pakistan cricket team is known for doing some of the unpredictable things on the field, but, after their defeat in their first group match of ICC Champions Trophy 2017 against India, nobody gave them a chance. But, they regrouped and played some extraordinary cricket to reach the final and the outclass India in all three departments of the game.
They were trolled. They were made fun of. And they were written off even before the game started. But the moment they stepped on the field, they looked hungry and ready to give their best for the next 100 overs.
Pakistan’s batting unit surprised one and all as almost very batsman played well. The star of the show was young Fakhar Zaman who scored the first hundred of One Day International hundred. He got lucky in the beginning but the way he capitalised on it and played the biggest inning of his life so far was a treat to watch for cricket fans across the world. Fakhar was supported brilliantly by his fellow batters. Azhar Ali, Babar Azam, Mohammad Hafeez, Imad Wasim all played well and kept building partnerships in the middle.
Pakistan’s victory united cricket fans across the world as it was a moment of great joy for the boys in green, who haven’t played international cricket at home for 10 years. Cricketers and former cricketers from across the world congratulated Pakistan cricket team. And here are some of the best tweets:

Not what @BCCI wanted. @imjadeja involved in a mix up. Maybe he should have sacrificed himself to allow @hardikpandya7 to bat on
