Kohli wrapped the clock back, while India Pakistan dominates again in cricket's money spider game

Once again, the blockbuster between India and Pakistan in the latest anti-climin in this bitter rivalry, which goes beyond the cricket field, was one-sided one-sided one-sided one.

Mighty India has been completely dominated for many years and swept a convincing victory in the Champions Trophy. Apart from a decent start with the bat from Pakistan, India dictated and the only intrigue whether superstar Virat Kohli would make a century.

With the help of his teammates, not for the first time, Kohli reached his century with a border that India's triumph sealed in a return to cricket's greatest superstar after a torrent time in Australia.

But this terrible performance was in the test cricket, where his technology and falling reflexes were under fire. And to be honest, it is a format in which Kohli is not near the goat, as if it were in the shorter forms.

Kohli underlined why he is the best to ever do it in 50-over format. VIV Richards was the first great one -day dough with his warlike blow, who was planned for us, while Sachin Tendulkar's longevity and dominance brought in the discussion during the flowering period of the format.

But Kohli has the lead because his amazing, constant brilliance chased and mastered it. This was not one of his most difficult persecution hunts, but Kohli still made the goal of 242 look much easier than every time India and Pakistan play on the cricket field, the sheer amount of hype was given.

They do not play bilateral cricket against each other, because political tensions that are the rivalry that are committed to global tournaments and do not compete. Some events – such as the Asia Cup and now this resurrected Champions Trophy – essentially exist to milk the money spin competition that creates a wind case.

These highly populated countries combine more than 1.6 billion people, many of whom are obsessed with cricket. Competitions between them are observed by a number of viewers of 300 to 500 million.

Although the competition becomes more regular, fans cannot always get enough of it, since the teams are always deliberately pulled in the same group of these events.

The tickets for the last game were sold out within minutes. The cheapest tickets cost 136 US dollars, while the most expensive more than 1300 US dollars cost.

It is on the back of her last meeting in New York at the T20 World Cup in June, in which hospitality tickets are resold at an astronomical price of $ 2500 to $ 10,000.

However, the game did not take place in Pakistan, which has been organizing its first big cricket event for almost 30 years. Instead, it took place in the sterile environment of Dubai due to the strict policy of the nationalist Indian government, which does not allow its sports teams to travel to Pakistan.

In an important compromise for the tournament that mocks all over the whole, India is based in Dubai – whereby the United Arab Emirates as a co -moderator have to rise in the middle of an Indian boycott – and are the only team with luxury. to be in the same country throughout the tournament.

Ironically, those who believe that the entire sport is bent by the whole of India is bent. India has the home edge of the Pakistan in a tournament. And in the Dubai International Cricket Stadium with the sold -out crowd in a Blue Sea, the loudest cheers Kohli were reserved, which was tortured again.
