India’s team Knocked Out from World Championship of Legends Despite Boycott Pakistan Match

India’s journey in the World Championship of Legends has come to an end after being knocked out of the tournament. The team’s controversial decision to “boy_cott” their match against Pakistan due to political reasons played a major role in their elimination, as it cost them valuable points.

Politics and Sports Clash

The decision not to play against Pakistan drew criticism from fans, who voiced their frustration over politics interfering with sports. Many emphasized that sporting events should remain neutral and free from political influence. Meanwhile, Pakistan progressed to the next stage of the competition.

Defeat Against England Seals India’s Fate

Despite a fighting half-century from Yusuf Pathan (52 off 29 balls), India fell short by 23 runs while chasing a massive target of 224 set by England at Leeds. India’s batting lineup saw small contributions from Shikhar Dhawan (17), Ambati Rayudu (28), Yuvraj Singh (38), and Stuart Binny (35), but none could convert their starts.
