LOSS \\ The recently-concluded India-Pakistan oneday series, hosted by India, was the first cricket series played between the two sides in more than four years. The series came with its expected hype, as it resumed cricket ties between the two nations after the infamous Mumbai Terror Attacks of 2008. The threematch ODI series ended with Pakistan winning it 2-1. The visitors exhibited their dominance from the very beginning, sweeping the series 2-0 before a victory in the last match in New Delhi helped salvage some pride for the host nation. In one-sided contests, Pakistan earned victories by six wickets and 85 runs in Chennai and Kolkata, respectively. Pakistan’s leftarm fast bowler Junaid Khan emerged as a crucial performer with eight wickets, while opener Nasir Jamshed added to his fine record against India with a 241 runs in three inning, thus earning the man-ofthe- series. For India, the only silver lining was debutant pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s bowling, which impressed fans and pundits alike.
