This tournament has certainly been a visual delight with 10 many countries playing against each other.

  • Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan sang the Indian national anthem beautifully before the India-Pakistan match. he made his presence felt everywhere.
  • After his match-winning half-century against Pakistan, Virat Kohli bowed down to Sachin Tendulkar who was standing from the stands.
  • England, riding on a fairy-tale knock by Joe Root, chased down South Africa’s high score 229 runs. The tag of ‘chokers’ was back to haunt South Africa.
  • Nobody dances like West Indies cricketers, whether celebrating victories on field, or at parties. They have approached with few ideal dance moves based on Dwayne Bravo‘s new song called ‘Champion dance‘.
  • In a heart-warming gesture, Virat Kohli gifted one of his prized bats to Pakistan pace sensation Mohammad Amir before their match at Eden Gardens, who was thrilled and couldn’t thank Kohli enough.
  • Though Australia lost against India, Shane Watson walked out of International cricket in superb style, making essential contributions in his last match.
  • Pakistan’s bad run in the tournament made captain Shahid Afridi return to pavilion in despair.
  • Afghanistan was in great spirit when they defeated West Indies. But WI quickly celebrated by doing their famous ‘Champion dance’ and it was heartening to watch Chris Gayle clicking selfies along with Afghans, and joining in their celebrations showing his sportsman spirit.
