Following the crushing seven-wicket defeat at the stadium in Ahmedabad, the Pakistan team coach Mickey Arthur said that this tournament does not seem like an ICC event. It seems to be a BCCI event. He was referring to the local audience unilaterally supporting the country. He also expressed his unhappiness over the DJ not playing the tune Dil-Dil Pakistan during the match. “Yes, that does play a role, but I am not going to use that as an excuse”, he maintained. His words, however, remain increasingly viral on social media.
So did Arthur think such a situation is right for a World Cup? BBC puts down that he can not comment on that just yet. He also does not want to get fined. He seems to be saying nothing but expressed plenty. India defeated Pakistan for the eighth time in the World Cup. Team India had a target of 192 runs to win. Due to the captaincy innings of Rohit Sharma, they achieved the target in merely 30.3 overs.
Our cricket players remain firmly on their fine performance in this match keeping up their top position. While the victory fills the renewed enthusiasm among the players, their subtle enthusiastic skills make them an example of a solid team. Pakistan kept the largest crowd to observe a cricket match for a little longer time with their typical interest.
There were reportedly shouts for umpire Marais Erasmus in the match when an LBW decision did not go India’s way. There was gentle cheering for Pakistan captain Babar’s 50 runs, while Virat Kohli’s first entrance to the limelight was viewed when he pointed to an imaginary watch on his wrist to try to hurry up Rizwan. Now, typically the viewers point up their elation with a sky-high voice but there was something about those forceful shots that put together the eyes just that much more effortlessly.
