After the win against India, Pakistan is now the favorite for the World Cup
Cricket fans had their eyes on the Pak-India match and Pakistan's historic victory as a result, but at the same time former players and world-renowned names not only valued the match but also expressed their views on the match. Also did
Former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan tweeted, "So heartbroken at last. Our neighbors play well today. But I am sure that India will definitely return. To dil tutaa akhirkaar.Hamare padosi Achha khele aaj. I’m believer, India will be back. #INDvPAK
Indian commentator Harsha Bhogle, referring to Indian bowling, said, "India did not have a soul in bowling and it did not pose much of a challenge to the opposing team." India's bowling lacked any kind of zing today. There weren't many challenges thrown and that will engage the think tank far more than the batting which just came up against an inspired spell from an outstanding bowler.
In an earlier tweet, Harsha Bhogle also lauded the meeting between young Pakistani players and MS Dhoni after the match. Really loved the scenes at the end between Virat and Rizwan and Babar and thereafter between some of the younger Pakistan players and Dhoni. Beyond the hype and posturing, this is the true story of sport.
Michael Vaughan, a commentator from England and a former player, tweeted congratulations to the PCB on Pakistan's victory and said that "beating the favorites is what it is called".
Former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar tweeted to Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh and asked, “Yes! Need a walkover? ' Congrats @TheRealPCB .. that is what you call hammering the favourites .. Incredible display .. Well done .. #indiaVsPakistan #T20WorldCup
Cricket commentator and former Australian cricketer Shane Warren also tweeted after Pakistan's victory, saying, "After this great win against India, in my opinion, Pakistan is now the favorite." Haanji? Walk over chahiye tha @harbhajan_singh ? pic.twitter.com/6XSc5cpcPp
It should be noted that Pakistan had defeated India by 10 wickets in the Super 12 round match of T20 World Cup yesterday thanks to the excellent bowling of Shaheen Shah Afridi and excellent batting of the openers. What a statement Pakistan just made in the #ICCT20WorldCup2021 Now favourites in my opinion after that emphatic win over India. Just a super all round & impressive performance. Babar Azam continues to enhance his reputation as one of the best batters in the world in all forms !!
This is Pakistan's first victory against India in any format of World Cup event.
Earlier, 5 matches were played between Pakistan and India in T20 World Cup and 7 matches in ODI World Cup and Indian team was successful in all the matches.
