Usne ground mein khade hoke Naamaz padhe, hinduon ke beech mein....So that was really something very very special for me. (What I liked the most is what Rizwan did. He stood in the middle of the ground and read the prayers, in front of the Hindus)," Younis said on Pakistani news channel <em>ARY News</em>.</p>

<p>Pakistan brought an end to a angonising wait to register their maiden win against India in a World Cup encounter with their heroic performance against Kohli's men.
