Following are five key moments that helped Pakistan win the Champions Trophy for the first time with a crushing 180-run victory over holders India at The Oval in London on Sunday.

Fans decorated the entire street and house of captain Sarfaraz Ahmed who arrived with fast bowler Rumman Raees at 4:45 am with the trophy that Pakistan had won for the first time. It is then when we see a group of Pakistani fans comes and consoles the dejected Indians while rubbing their tears with a tissue.

Shadab picked up his second wicket when Kedar Jadhav, on nine, gave Sarfraz a simple catch and India appeared to be crumbling meekly at 72 for six.

Meanwhile, Pakistan team skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed and Rumman Raees arrived at Karachi airport this morning where Governor Sindh Muhammad Zubair and Mayor Karachi Waseem Akhtar received the victorious captain. Instead, she woke up to her family praising the Pakistani team. Fakhar is a great impact player, he played like a champion batsman. "He is a Navy man no?" The 28-year-old said the fighting spirit Pakistan displayed was a reflection of talent they posses.

Jose Mourinho accused of Tax Fraud
A prosecutor says he did not declare income from the use of his image rights in order to get an "illicit benefit". Those include Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo , who played under Mr Mourinho and shares the same agent.

"We have not hosted any global team for the last 8 or 9 years, Pakistani players are barred from playing in the IPL (Indian Premier League), but I'm sure with this victory our players will get more opportunities".

Her father-in-law, who is an ex-serviceman, appreciated Fakhar Zaman, saying that he did what "a soldier does for his country".

The future of the tournament is at risk as the ICC prepares to hold its annual conference in London on the back of a successful eighth edition, won by Pakistan after a final against India with an estimated viewing audience in the hundreds of millions. He heard the ball pouched behind him and knew he was dismissed before he'd really got started in the biggest cricket match of his life at The Oval. For a cricket insane country, not having played on their home ground for years is bound to take a toll. Information minister Maryam Aurangzeb told the media in Islamabad that Sharif will also host a grand reception for the winning team. Mohan mentions this and goes on to say, "This win shows, you can never write them off". "Thank you for being an inspiration". "When we arrived here (in England), we were No 8 and now we are the champions". So, in Mohan's own words, "Perhaps there may still be hope for the two countries after all!"
