India's dominance over Pakistan in the World Cups!

-

This picture could be blur but the memories aren't!

Defeating your arch-rivals in the world cup once is good, defeating them twice is excellent, but defeating them on every occasion is sensational. India has never lost to their arch-rivals Pakistan in the world cups. Out of 7 matches played between both the teams, the Indian team have proved themselves a better side on all the seven occasions.

Here is the list of the results of all the Ind vs Pak World Cup matches:
  1. 1992 - India won by 43 runs. MOM - Sachin Tendulkar (54 Runs)
  2. 1996 - India won by 39 runs. MOM - Navjot Singh Sidhu (93 Runs)
  3. 1999 - India won by 47 runs. MOM - Venkatesh Prasad (5 Wickets)
  4. 2003 - India won by 6 wickets. MOM - Sachin Tendulkar (98 Runs)
  5. 2011 - India won by 29 runs - MOM - Sachin Tendulkar (85 Runs)
  6. 2015 - India won by 76 runs - MOM - Virat Kohli (107 Runs)
  7. 2019 - India won by 89 Runs - MOM - Rohit Sharma (140 Runs)
(MOM - Man of the Match)


The Pakistani team had very big players, they were a strong unit once. Also the one-on-one ODI records are still in Pakistani team's favour, then why haven't they been able to beat the Indian team in the World Cup matches? 

The biggest thing I feel is that the Indian team has handled the pressure better than the Pakistani team. Despite of having a lot of big names, the Pakistani team has crumbled every time they faced the Indian team on the biggest stage of the game. The better a team handles the pressure in the crunch situation, the more is the probability that they will win the game. Also, if you will go through the stats of these matches, you'll find that at least one individual has stood up for the Indian team in every game which isn't the case if we talk about the Pakistani team.

The score is 7-0 at the moment & the way the Indian team is performing, and also when I look at both the current teams and the young talent, I don't think the Pakistani team will be able to defeat the Indian team in the near future or in the next world cup. But you never know, as the records are made to be broken.

The 1983 World Cup Final - The Most Iconic Moment In The History Of Indian Cricket

When on 24th June 1983, a day before the World Cup final, the Indian team had a look at the pitch, it was green as if it was prepared for the mighty West-Indian pace attack that included Andy Roberts, Joel Garner, Malcolm Marshall and Michael Holding. The West Indian team was playing its 3rd consecutive final whereas the Indian team was playing its 1st final. The next morning, on 25th June 1983, the West Indian captain Clive Lloyd won the toss and invited the Indian team to bat first. The West Indian pace attack didn't disappoint their skipper and dismissed the whole Indian team on the score of just 183 runs in 54.4 overs. West Indies were all set to lift their 3rd consecutive Trophy. Everything was in their favour. The score was small and their batsman were in great form too. And then came the inspirational words from the Indian skipper who said, "We have already scored 183 runs and they still have to score those runs. We should give resistance and not give away the...

If everything would have been normal, we must have been enjoying the IPL by now. But yes we can't control the nature. IPL in India is a festival. It has been a great 12 years of journey with a lot of memories. Here in this blog we will talk about the top 5 IPL moments yet - 5. McCullum's curtain raiser @158* - It was just an experiment done to start the IPL. There were a lot of doubts about this format and what happened next. In the very first game, Brendon McCullum walked out to bat for KKR almost smashed to every part of the ground scored a  magnificent 158* of just 73 deliveries against RCB and it cleared all the doubts about the IPL's future. What a start that was to the IPL. 4. MI chasing 190 in just 14.3 overs - How often have you seen Rahul Dravid angry. That was one of the few moments when he got angry and he actually through his cap in anger after the last ball. It was RR vs MI and a place in playoffs was on the line. RR batted first and sco...

Virat Kohli & The ICC Knockout Matches - Does he choke in big knockout games?

The modern-day great, the white-ball legend, the master of a run-chase and a guy who score runs for fun as if it is a daily routine for him and in the process he fails in 2-3 knockout games & all of a sudden a lot of people start questioning his calibre & his potential. A lot of people start abusing him and his family. Is this the right thing to do? Does he even choke in ICC knockout games? A lot of people without knowing a lot of things start uttering shits that India lost the 2015 and 2019 world cup and 2017 Champions Trophy because of Virat Kohli. For your information, in the run chase of 329 against Australia in the semi final of 2015 world cup, Virat Kohli got out after just scoring 1 run. Also in the run chases of 2017 Champions Trophy final & 2019 World Cup semi final Virat Kohli got out on the scores of 5 and 1 respectively. Those numbers are definitely not good. But  a lot of people start judging him on the basis of these scores only. Are these the only...
