Pakistan speedster Shoaib Akhtar congratulated their victory over New Zealand in the Champions Trophy 2025. As Pakistan being host nation why did no official attended the final ceremony of Champions Trophy that was his take which he conveyed in his You Tube channel recently.Pakistan was the hosting nation for Champions trophy but India refused to travel Pakistan citing security reasons and played all their matches in Dubai.

While India went to knockout stages of champions Trophy and Pakistan were eliminated in the group stage. I was amazed there were no PCB officials on the ground what was wrong. Highlighting the match proceedings New Zealand won the huge toss and elected to bat first, seeking to add on the score board pressure in an important final. 

Rachin Ravindra and Will Young had an excellent 57 run opening partnership where India faulted with many missed catches at the start.

India Battled Out their Rivals

Soon Kuldeep and Chakravarthy applied breaks to the ongoing kiwis innings where they removed Young, Williamson and Rachin Ravindra where New Zealand were 75/3.Bracewell and Mitchell gave their best to move the score card above where Mitchell scored 63 runs of 101 balls and Bracewell too completed his 53 runs of 40 balls, giving a fighting total of 251 runs against India. 

Kuldeep and Varun claimed two wickets each and in the end Shami too added his name in wickets list but conceeded 74 runs in 9 overs. In reply India started off graciously where Rohit Sharma and Subhman Gill paced India's innings, both gave 105 runs partnership stand.  But soon Virat, Rohit and Gill were removed in quite successive intervals. Rohit scored brilliant 74 runs and Gill scored 31 runs.

India stucked into the middle phase but Axar and Iyer played well to retaliate, Shreyas scored a well made 48 runs ticking the score board both scored an 61 run partnership but eventually Iyer lost his wicket and then Rahul and Axar carry forwarded the innings. India lost Axar too in quick succession but Pandaya and Rahul ensured to bring the match too close. At the end Jadeja ended the match precceding boundary where India won by 4 wickets. 

PCB Shouldn't Have Done This

 Though India didn't visited Pakistan its about political issues and I won't go into it it was your tournament our tournament, we fought for it, to get happen in our country. It was really strange for me there were no PCB persons took their involment. Why there was no one from PCB managment to give away the prizes and the trophy. 

This is literally beyond my understanding.
