Shaheen Shah Afridi Reflects on Pakistan’s Epic ICC Champions Trophy 2017 Win
In a recent ICC video, Pakistan’s fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi reflected on the historic ICC Champions Trophy 2017 victory, revisiting the iconic final against India.
“I was playing for Pakistan U-19 when we won the Champions Trophy in 2017. I watched that game on TV, and it was a special moment for our country,” said Afridi, sharing his feelings about the memorable match that united Pakistan in celebration.
Afridi highlighted key performances that were instrumental in Pakistan’s victory. “I can never forget Fakhar Zaman’s innings, which changed the game completely, and Mohammad Amir’s spell,” he remarked. The unforgettable century from Fakhar Zaman and Amir’s devastating bowling, which included key wickets of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Shikhar Dhawan, were pivotal in Pakistan’s dominant 180-run victory.
Afridi emphasized the collective effort that led to the win, stating, “Everyone contributed to the win, but those performances stand out. I believe it was a team effort, and we need that again. We want to win the title once more and keep the trophy at home.”
The 2017 Champions Trophy final remains one of the most remarkable moments in Pakistan’s cricket history, with their triumph over India forever etched in fans’ memories.
