At the height of the star batters' ability to chase runs, Virat Kohli's star-studded team was humiliated by Men in Green, who skittled out for 158 runs while chasing 338 runs, which Pakistan reached after a century from Fakhar Zaman. This was the last time India and Pakistan faced off in a Champions Trophy event.
Players involved in this heartbreaking loss would still be thinking about getting even, and their supporters would undoubtedly enjoy every second of India's tyranny over Pakistan with bat and ball.
