Indian captain Virat Kohli was seen hugging Mohammad Rizwan after India vs Pakistan in a video which has since gone viral
At the end of the day, India’s record against Pakistan in the world cup was destined to finally come to an end.
However, the manner in which the side rolled over and allowed itself to be toyed with made for despondent viewing. When the side stepped out for its world opener on Sunday, the unit failed to show any kind of perseverance or resillinace on the day.
The country’s languid display with the bat saw the team post an appalling 151 runs on the board. Where the team’s batting performance made for sorry viewing, the bowling effort was even more dismal as the country’s bowlers failed to compensate for their batsmen.

One moment which managed to stand tall amongst those interactions was that of captain Virat Kohli with the Pakistani openers.

Where the Indian side will go from this defeat remains to be seen. The side has received massive backlash in India for its beleaguered display, a performance which left the country’s ardent supporters flabbergasted.
