From dropped catches to devastating double centuries. From flying kisses to some awesome chases. From nail biting finishes to good old sledging. When it came to drama, the 2015 World Cup had a strike rate better than Afridi’s.
Here are some of its stellar and silly moments illustrated through awesome minimalist posters.
1. When India faced off against Pakistan and the inevitable happened.
2. When England was devastated by two natural calamities called Tim Southee and #ForeverFasterBrendon.
3. When West Indies took Pakistan to the cleaners.
4. When a blistering knock by Shikhar Dhawan ensured that India triumphed over South Africa.
5. When asked about being the first double centurion in a World Cup, this is who Chris Gayle thanked.
