The India Champions emerged victorious over the Pakistan Champions in the final of the World Championship of Legends. After the IND vs PAK WCL final, all-rounder, Irfan Pathan, credited the team’s captain, Yuvraj Singh, for assembling a winning squad and leading them to glory.
In a video uploaded by Irfan Pathan on social media handles, he said, “Yuvraj Singh brought this team together. He clearly told me that he did not want me to bowl in the tournament. In fact, he wanted to see sixes with my bat. However, today they bowled me 3 overs.”
IND vs PAK WCL final highlights
Speaking about the WCL final, Pakistan Champions’ captain Younis Khan opted to bat first after winning the toss. Anureet Singh struck early for India, dismissing opener Sharjeel Khan for 12 runs off 10 balls at the end of the second over.
Despite a promising start by Pakistan’s Kamran Akmal and Sohaib Maqsood, who brought the score to 43, the innings struggled to gain momentum. Vinay Kumar’s wicket of Maqsood on the last ball of the fifth over marked the beginning of Pakistan’s challenges.
Consistent wicket losses hindered their progress, though Sohail Tanvir’s late efforts helped them reach a total of 156 for 6. Anureet Singh emerged as a key bowler for India, taking 3 wickets but conceding 43 runs in his 4 overs. In reply, handy contributions from Ambati Rayudu, Yusuf Pathan and Yuvraj Singh helped India champions lift the prized trophy.
