To avoid unnecessary and unwelcomed tensions, security personnel were deployed outside cricketer M. S. Dhoni's residence soon after the match.

Pakistan dominated with both bat and ball to thrash a rather off-colour India by 180 runs and win the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 cricket tournament here on Sunday.

Pakistan had started disastrously when they suffered a 124-run thrashing at the hands of India before they bounced back to defeat South Africa by 19 runs, Sri Lanka by three wickets and England in the semi-final by eight wickets.

Earlier in the day, the Uttarakhand Government has imposed Section 144 in Dehradun's Clock Tower and nearby area.

Virat Kohli (VK): Any what? "Obviously the same bowlers are going to play, but the more consistent you get in learning from games like this, it's better for the team in the future".

"Reaching the final you obviously have to have a good tournament which the boys have pulled off".

In an early tweet, he said: "All the players of Indian team should be banned by govt from playing cricket coz they have sold themselves n pride of India".

It was an all-round performance from the Men in Green and they only got better with every game in the tournament. Mohammad Amir and Fakhar Zaman starred for Pakistan in the final.

In a match which saw Virat Kohli and his boys fail miserably in all three departments of fielding, bowling and batting, it was Hardik Pandya who nearly spearheaded a resurgence by scoring the fastest half-century in the history of ICC tournaments finals, even beating Adam Gilchrist's record.

"They were more intense and passionate today, they deserved to win".

"We can be very proud of that as a unit and we leave here with our heads held high because we understand the kind of expectations and pressures we face as a team".

The Telegraph also played the hockey win big, though it was also acknowledged Pakistan's win.

Former captain appreciated 18-year-old Shahdaab's confidence level, adding that his insistence on taking review for Leg Before Wicket (LBW) was the result of his confidence.

Amir, who received a five-year ban from all cricket and served three months in prison following a conviction for spot-fixing in 2010, removed Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.

Hardik Pandya helped drag his side from the edge of the abyss with 76 runs, but Pakistan bowled out India for 158 to score a remarkable victory.
