When Pooh summed up our feelings about the final
When our own players surprised us
All of us while watching the men in green bat
India got off to a rocky start

When Kohli and Sharma fell, so did Indian hopes
Indian fans were good sports
And of course the internet couldn't forget Rishi Kapoor
Forecasts showed heavy shows of celebration in Pakistan

Magnificent and early Ramzan gift by this unpredictable but surprisingly gifted Pakistan team to the believers world over. Hope this holly month of Ramzan may bring friendship between the two nations forget the past and live like a brothers which will save lot of hard earned money which is being wasted on wars and military buildup by both the countries which can be used for other good purposes.
