Ensuing the win, Babar Azam’s father, Azam Siddique was seen crying in the stands as he couldn’t hold his emotions in.
Pakistan had scripted the win owing to Shaheen Afridi’s stellar performance as he ran threw the Indian top order. The speedster removed both the Indian openers before returning in the tailend to send back Virat Kohli to end with three notable wickets on the night.
The Indian side stares at a long and daunting road ahead with it yet to be seen how the side will overhaul its horrendous performance and work out its world cup sojourn.
