Kishan heroics help India dominate fiercest rivals

INDIA continued their remarkable World Cup stranglehold over Pakistan but a fractious buildup spilled on to the field as the teams again did not shake hands at the end of the Colombo contest.

Pakistan’s government only gave the go-ahead for its team to fulfil the match on Monday amid continuing geopolitical tensions between the countries, who have not played a bilateral series since 2012.

The animosity stretched to the players as Suryakumar Yadav and Salman Agha did not shake hands at the toss, while the teams did not do so at the end of India’s 61-run victory in a one-sided contest.
