After Pakistan crushed India by 180 runs to clinch their maiden Champions Trophy title on Sunday, Latif decided to end his war of words with Sehwag in a calm manner.

“This is a gesture from Pakistan. I would wait for a gesture from India, either from Sehwag, or Bollywood star Rishi Kapoor (who too has been in the wars with Pakistani fans). We respect India and we expect the same from our
Finally, Latif concluded the video by heaping praise on Virat Kohli and his team for their performance in the tournament.
"We lost in one match and now India lost in the final. This is a part of cricket and this happens in sports. I would like to congratulate Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya. Jadeja, Ashwin and Yuvraj Singh. Harbhajan Singh has helped Pakistan a lot in the past."
