<div class="section1"><div class="Normal">The Indo Pak friendship series is exuding a spirit of <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">yaraana</span> that is looming large across the border.<br /><br />Come March 18, Sharjah will be destination <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">dostana</span> with a match that furthers the cross border friendship.
<br /><br />While Sourav and Inzamam Ul Haq''s boys take a break before the Lahore leg of the series, Suniel and Imran have planned a dose of cricketing action-an India Pakistan match with a twist that sees Imran back into cricketing gear after 12 long years.<br /><br />Suniel Shetty has been fielding calls from Pakistan to add a dash of glamour. <br /><br />"We were planning an Indo-Pak match and somehow things were not falling into place -it materialised now during the friendship series! Various people from Pakistan have been calling to plan an event in Lahore but I wanted to kick start such events at a neutral venue, so Sharjah. In due course we can move on to Pakistan and then India."<br /><br />Suniel was in the thick of planning and finding sponsors when Khan called. "Imran heard that I was planning something and the event would be centred around a cause. He asked me if we could share the cause and I agreed." <br /><br />The match garners funds for the Imran Khan Cancer hospital and the IIFA charity trust. His mother''s hospital that has him back in cricketing gear. <br /><br />Imran has personally picked his team and that does have our Bollywood fraternity sweating... "He might bowl a few overs but we are sprucing up to face his attack!"<br /><br />Imran Khan leads his team with Saeed Anwar, Mohsin Khan, Rameez Raja and Aamir Sohail but knowing Pakistan''s predicament about visas he has told Suniel, "lets see who all get the visa and finally land up...!" <br /><br />But Suniel''s 11 is not taking chances. All padded up are Anil Kapoor, Mahesh Manjrekar, Dino Morea, Aftab Shivadasani, Arshad Warsi...<br /><br />And that''s not all. For that extra helping of pep, friends like Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt might just show up at the stadium, and also on the cards is lunch for Imran, Suniel and Co hosted by the Dubai royal family!</div> </div>
