    Pakistan defeated India in the 2004 and 2009 Champions Trophy. Isn't these games considered ICC events?

    I was looking at the retired master of them all sitting in the pavilion.

    Must win situation brought the best in Kohli and Yuvi.

    Well, the last time that I remember India lose to Pakistan was in the 2014 Asia Cup, when Shahid Afridi smashed two sixes in the final over to seal the match. Thereafter, India has a good track record against Pakistan.

    this is so usual now that no one is bothered anymore of the streak, we should end this talk. Pak played well Amir was indeed as good as pak fans rate him, Virat was very good too...may be Root and Kane are in same class.
