If Pakistan won the cup it is because they played better. I think our selection of the team was wrong as it included players who are actually a spent force. I am referring to Yuvraj and even Dhoni. Our selectors are reluctant to drop big names unlike other countries where past performances do no matter.
Ashwin was not included in the earlier matches but there was a clamour from the public and Media over this and he was included. In both the matches he failed to deliver. So obviously the decision to keep away Ashwin from the earlier matches was a good decision. Our selection committee has to be more focussed at least in future.

If these cricketers are asking for a hike of 150 percent they justified it and said if you do not pay we will loose all the matches. Good decisions by them ad hope they get 100000 percent rise as there is no shortages of money in cricket board advertisers and public paying huge sums for cricket.
You can't win everything , but Indian sports had a good day yesterday. Srikant won one of the toughest Super Series titles in badminton and we beat Pak 7-1 in hockey. It was an India off-day in cricket , with a few slices of luck for the Pak batsmen, so leave it at that. We don't have to make drastic changes to our team.

What you said is true. But for an average Indian it is the victory in cricket that matters. For him the other sports are no sports at all.

Yes everyone needs to win in this world. but india wants to win every time. Pakistan people are brave fighting against such a big country and even Bangladesh are also a good country. They put in real efforts.
Kohli must be removed as Captain!!! He is so short tempered his ego affecting Indian Whole team performance!!!! He was failed to shuffle bowlers properly. Fuckar was playing spin effectively. he was keep on giving bowl to Ashwin. If dhoni was Captin he could have Restrict Pakistan for 250 runs!!! But Fuckar was too Luckey He was out two time before made his Century. He was LBW in bowling of Hardik Pandya. India not appealed for it!!!!!!!!!!? TOTALY it is KOHILI FAILIOUR Because of his personal ego!!!!!??????

India would be hammered black & blue even if they had lost a couple of more wickets. And morons please realise there is no patriotism in a game. I love & support the Pakistan team though am an Indian. It is a sport & we are free to demonstrate our love for whichever team we support.

The people like you stay in India and get all the benefit but your heart is always with pakistan. even if you dont say that you were supporting Pakistan from the beginning no one will have any doubt about your extra ordinary love and affection for them.
KOHLI KNEW PAKISTAN WAS GOING TO WIN AND HAD PREDICTED IT. HE IS A ASTROLOGER ALSO.
LIKE MODI DECLARES ELECTION WINS EVEN BEFORE VOTING BY INDIANS KOHLI HAD ALREADY DECLARED PAKISTAN AS WINNER AND HAD HOPED THEY WOULD CRUSH INDIA AND PAKISTAN IS A BETTER TEAM
WE ARE BETTER IN CORRUPTION AND LOOTING THE INDIAN PUBLIC THROUGH ADVERETISMENTS SO WE SHOULD HAVE A GAME OF CORRUPTION AND HARASSMENT WHERE WE WILL ALWAYS BE NUMBER ONE AS NO COUNTRY CAN COMPETE AGAINST US IN CORRUPTION AND HARASSMENT OF OUR OWN CITIZENS.
WELL DONE KOHLI FOR PREDICTING A PAKISTANI WIN SUCH A SMALL COUNTRY AND SO BRAVE.
WE TEND TO GIVE TOO MUCH IMPORTANCE TO CRICKET WHILE WE ARE GETTING LOOTED FROM BEHIND THROUGH VOTES AND TAXES AND TAXES WHILE WE ARE WATCHING CRICKET
we will have less of those stupxid ads where Virat Kohli stares stupxidly into the camera and the advertiser expects lakhs of people to come rushing to buy their products !
Keep playing in this insipid manner & your days as a top international side will be numbered. A bunch of pathetic non performers who flop during crunch moments is what this team really is. Pakistan has kicked India so hard in the teeth that this is a perfect snub for being ignored in IPL. Pakistani boys were magnificent & played like a team possessed. That is commitment. Eid mubarak in advance.
