On a day when most expected India to cruise through to a victory against Pakistan, Pakistan pulled off one of the greatest final performances ever to hand India a heart wrenching defeat in the Champions Trophy Final at the Oval.

Everything about Pakistan’s cricket was positive. They batted with purpose and their bowling rocked the strong Indian top order, so much so that half way through the second innings, it was all but over for the Indian side. Hardik Pandya played a beautiful little cameo but it just wasn’t enough.
This is how Twitter reacted to India’s loss:
Rohit vs Amir in all international cricket:
48 balls
19 runs

4.Option for Jadhav too
5.Most importantly, move away from tag of Virat-dependent chasers. Can't be just one man always. #INDvPAK #CT17— Chetan Narula (@chetannarula) June 18, 2017
