Pakistan Vs India - 2017 Champions Trophy Final

He was cursing because Rohit said 'Mohammed Amir is an 'average' bowler and over rated, it's not like when he comes to the field he 'bowls' everyone out'

Mohammed Amir bowled him AND Kohli out.
Ummm ... Good reply then ... :D BTW, while Amir is way above average, he isn't a Wasim or Waqar, even though they themselves praise this lad. He has flashes of brilliance like today, but he has yet to develop that level of fear in the minds and hearts of the opposition, plus Pakistani bowlers seriously need to work on them yorkers ... That is one weapon of bowling that isn't even dependent on the pitch and conditions ... although it becomes quite deadly if the conditions are in your favor.
Hahahahaha. But I must admit Pindi boys know how to celebrate :D
You should be thankful he didn't have one of his partners and a bike in the field ... :D

Five key moments that propelled Pakistan to Champions Trophy glory

Following are five key moments that helped Pakistan win the Champions Trophy for the first time with a crushing 180-run victory over holders India at The Oval on Sunday.

Pakistan skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed loses toss

India have done well chasing down targets so captain Virat Kohli opted to put his rivals in to bat first.

It proved to be a good toss to lose as Sarfaraz said he would also have elected to field if he had won it.

"We wanted to bowl first. But the toss is out of our control. Hopefully, we can post more than 300," Sarfaraz said.

Opener Fakhar Zaman is caught by MS Dhoni for three ─ off a no ball

With his bat tucked under his arm, Fakhar begins the long walk back to the pavilion as the Indians celebrate grabbing their first wicket with only four runs on the board.

The celebrations swiftly change direction, however, when replays on the big scoreboard show that Jasprit Bumrah had bowled a no ball and Fakhar is called back to the crease.

It proved to be a costly no ball as Fakhar goes on to score his first international century before falling for 114.

Kohli fails to capitalise on a dropped catch on five

The Indian captain had come into the match with an astonishing batting average of 253 runs in this year's tournament, having been dismissed only once in four matches.

So when he was dropped by Azhar Ali in the slips off Mohammad Amir in the third over, huge cheers erupted around the arena.

Pakistan made sure it did not turn out to be a costly mistake, though, as Amir dismissed him next ball.

His departure proved to be a bad omen for the Indians as the only other time he had been dismissed in this year's Champions Trophy ─ against Sri Lanka in the group stage ─ the holders also lost the match.

Amir back in the team after missing semi-final with back injury

Amir, once vilified for his role in the 2010 spot-fixing scandal which led to him serving a prison term in London, was at his brilliant best when he produced a devastating opening spell.

He removed India's top three batsmen ─ Rohit Sharma (0), Shikhar Dhawan (21) and Kohli (5).

After leaving India reeling on six for two following the dismissals of Sharma and Kohli, Amir's figures read 1.4 overs, four runs, two wickets.

His transformation into a hero was complete as his final tally was six overs, two maidens, 16 runs and three wickets.

Hardik Pandya, India's last hope, run out for 76 after showering the ground with sixes

Pandya came to the crease with India teetering on 54 for five after Yuvraj Singh and former captain Dhoni departed in quick succession.

He raised hopes of pulling off a one-man Indian Houdini act as he hit three successive sixes to reach his half century.

But just when it seemed that he was blazing towards a first international century, he was run out after a mix-up with Ravindra Jadeja.

India still had three wickets in hand but the deafening cheers from Pakistan fans made clear that the end was nigh.

India lost their last four wickets for the addition of only six runs.

Can't get over how Shadab Khan (youngest player in whole of ICC) MADE Sarfraz (senior Captain of the team) take the review. Absolutely forced him. What confidence. Kid is gonna be a superstar. bloody love him.

FYI: he took out Yuvraj - India's senior, experienced and pro player.
