Pakistan vs India in any sport is the greatest rivalries ever....
You can take any sport, Cricket, Hockey, Football, Boxing, Kabbadi, or any other sport whenever these two countries meet there is fire on and off the field.
No other rivals ever come close.
Yeah you are right but Why ?? It's due to media hype or political conflicts.
reply
Both. Both play their part. Political influence increased since BJP took over Indian politics and changed the whole narrative. And since 2006 I think, after second IPL season when they banned Pakistani players to take part in IPL.

I don't think it started in 2006. It's always been that way since I started watching cricket

Yeah I did not day it strated there, I said the whole narrative changed. Things started changing from dislikeness to hate after that...

Yes, and in 2009, there was a militant attack on innocent Sri Lankan players in Lahore. That's why the whole cricketing fraternity had abandoned playing in Pakistan for more than a decade.

Yup. Black day in Pakistan cricket. Terrorists wanted to isolate Pakistan cricket from International stage and they succeeded. It took almost 2 decades to recover from that attack, some rivals played their part as well in isolating an already struggling board.
