NEW DELHI: India-Pakistan cricket rivalry is the biggest in the world and now with the archrivals playing each other only in ICC and ACC tournaments, the matches garner more and more attention.
With the fierce rivals set to clash on February 23 at Dubai in the Champions Trophy, Netflix released a trailer looking ahead to the marquee match.
The trailer has former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly, former Indian opener Virender Sehwag and former Pakistan tearaway fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar talking about the intense rivalry over the years.
A clip has Ganguly talking about a particular bilateral series between India and Pakistan that was termed as 'Friendship Series'.
Ganguly says, "Friendship Series was only a name. But with Shoaib Akhtar bowling at 150 kilometres per hour, where is the friendship in that?"
Akhtar acknowledged Ganguly's praise by posting on X: "Dada @SGanguly99 you're awesome. Indian cricket is incomplete without you."
Despite the intense rivalry between India and Pakistan on the cricket field, there have been numerous instances of genuine friendship and mutual respect between cricketers from both nations.
This shows that despite tensions, Indian and Pakistani cricketers have always maintained a deep sense of respect and friendship.
