ICC Champions Trophy 2017: India Pakistan cricket match began a few minutes ago.
New Delhi:
The entire nation is glued to the India Pakistan ICC Champions Trophy 2017 which began a few minutes ago. 2016 ICC champion India looks forward to defend their ICC Champions Trophy at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham, England, as arch-rival Pakistan claims its stake for the final stage in the cricket championship. Traditionally, India Pakistan matches are highly charged, with citizens of both nations passionately following every match. Earlier in the day, the hotel where the Indian cricket team is staying in Birmingham was placed under lockdown after last night's London terror attack that left seven dead and several injured.
Attackers in a van mowed down people on the 19th century London Bridge across River Thames, before getting out and stabbing people randomly in London Borough Market. This London terror attack comes just a week after Ariana Grande's concert Manchester Arena terror attack that killed 22 people. People in the pubs, bars and lounges were watching the ICC Champions League 2017 final.
Over the past few days, the Indian team, participating in ICC Champions Trophy 2017, has been in the news for different reasons. Skipper Virat Kohli and some senior players were reportedly not on the same page with coach Anil Kumble.
