What a country !! Took a loan from the IMF, then stopped a potential World War, also attacked Afghanistan, talked ceasefire with China, then became a Global Peacemaker, also stood with Iran, then condemned attack on KSA, then negotiated with Trump while the nation watched PSL.
As an Indian, I feel that we have added one more trophy to our list, but honestly, this trophy is not giving me even 1% of the satisfaction and happiness that previous WCs or CTs gave me.
This tournament started very well with competitive pitches, but after we lost vs SA, all the pitches seemed to be doctored and turned into highways. If we are hosting a bilateral series, then the home team has every right to prepare whatever pitches they want, but this is an ICC tournament and the pitches should be prepared under the ICC’s influence, not the BCCI’s.
This feels unfair and this trophy will never give me the same satisfaction as the ones we won in 2024, 2025 or earlier.
Thank God it was Imran Khan during Covid global pandemic. If these habitual liars were in government, Pakistan would have faced complete chaos. We might wouldn’t have survived it.
