Dhoni put forward a cream biscuit theory before the start of the current World Cup series. In 2011, a company’s Cream Biscuits were introduced for the first time in India. India won the World Cup that year. Now again in 2022, another version of the same cream biscuit has been released, as the World Cup was to be held this year as well, the video of Dhoni talking about these two went viral at that time. Befittingly, Ireland beat England, India lost to South Africa and Pakistan reached the semi-finals. But in the semi-final, England put an end to the creme biscuit theory dream.
Accordingly, to know what happened, you have to go to the semi-final of the 1987 World Cup. The then Pakistan captain Imran Khan bowled brilliantly in the semi-final against Australia, but Pakistan went out in defeat. Frustrated with this, Imran Khan announced his retirement.
As now, the series took place in Australia. The World Cup got off to a flying start with Australia’s perfect weather, sharpest photographers, and the first ever colored jerseys at the World Cup.
Pakistan had three losses and one win in their first five matches. One match was abandoned due to rain. Pakistan was on the brink of defeat in that abandoned match as well.
