What happened in the Manchester Test is not less of a wonder. The whole world of Team India has become convinced for that. But, 70 km from there, Indiawale was seen losing to Pappi. Now you must be wondering why the Indian team needed to go 70 km from Manchester? And, what does it mean by Pappi? So here we are talking about Shubman Gill’s team India but about the Indian team that was present in Leeds, 70 km from Allredi Manchester. We are talking about the Indian Team India Champions playing in WCL 2025, against whom Pappi has not only scored a bang century but has also become the reason for their defeat.
India lost from ‘Pappi’ in England
The second season of WCL is also being played on England’s land. Although India Champions was the defending champion of this tournament, but no one was in bad condition between 6 teams in the current season. India Champions also lost in their third and last league matches played against England Champions on 27 July. In WCL 2025, India Champions had to be a victim of the havoc of the player in their last league match, which was called Pappi in England’s dressing room.
Pappi scored 110 runs at a strike rate of 200
Now you must be wondering who is this puppy? So here Pappi means Ravi Bopara. Ravi Bopara, who belongs to Punjab in India, scored a century on just 51 balls against India Champions. He scored 110 runs in 55 balls at a strike rate of 200 while remaining unbeaten, which included 8 sixes and as many fours.
India Champions lost with 23 runs
Due to Ravi Bopara’s century, England Champions, batting first against India Champions, scored 223 runs for 3 wickets in 20 overs. In response, India Champions could score 200 runs for 8 wickets in 20 overs and lost the match by 23 runs. Yusuf Pathan scored the highest 52 runs for India Champions.
WCL did not open an open account in 2025
The defeat from England Champions is the third consecutive defeat of India Champions in the second season of the World Championship of Legends. With this defeat, the last hope of opening a victory account for India Champions also collapsed. That is, India Champions will have to end their journey in WCL 2025 without winning without winning.
