Whenever arch rivals India and Pakistan play on the field of cricket against each other, the situation becomes intense for people of both the countries. When Pakistan defeated Team India in the final of the ICC Champions Trophy final, it was believed that along with the Indian fans, the players of both the teams would not face each other after the match result. But then only, a video went viral that proved that cricket is just a game not a war between the two countries. In video, players from both the team were spotted sharing good moments. And now this moment has been termed as the ICC's 'best moment of the year'.
In the final of the ICC Champions Trophy that held on 18 June 2017, Pakistan defeated Team India by 180 runs. Despite this defeat, players of Team India introduced the game spirit. During that time, all the players including skipper Virat Kohli and Yuvraj Singh were standing with Pakistani cricketers and there was no tension in the atmosphere. On the field, the players from both the teams were laughing by cracking jokes with each other. Kohli also said that only one team had to win. Kohli's this comment had won the hearts of Pak fans, which was highly appreciated.
In fact, the ICC has released the same video on its Twitter handle on Wednesday. Here is that magical moment between the arch rivals:
