Before the final, the continental tournament had already seen a lot, from Suryakumar and his team’s refusal to shake hands with the Pakistani players to Haris Rauf’s provocative “6-0” and “plane crash” gestures and Sahibzada Farhan’s “gunshot” celebration in the Super Four match.
We should look into the sports side: Kapil Dev
Kapil Dev was quoted as saying by India Today, “I just want to say—your responsibility, and responsibility for the entire media also, is that we should look into the sports side rather than looking into the politics side. Yes, media has the responsibility to bring everything to the table, but as a sportsman, I would like to see that we should stick to sports. It will be much better.”

He signed off by saying, “You can talk about Imran Khan, you can talk about Javed Miandad, Zaheer Abbas, Wasim Akram, and’90s, Waqar Younis. They have given us that talent. But unfortunately, we can’t see similar talent today—not even one percent of what they used to have.”
Notably, Pakistan had a promising start with an 84-run opening partnership between Fakhar Zaman and Sahibzada Farhan. But the middle order collapsed dramatically, losing nine wickets for just 33 runs, finishing with a total of 146 in 19.1 overs. India also had a shaky start, losing three early wickets, but they held their nerve and won the game in Dubai.
