India vs Pakistan cricket. Once dubbed the mother of all cricket battles, this contention is now confined simplest to multi-nation tournaments, the Asia Cup and ICC events. Bilateral cricket ties between the 2 nations are frozen and there's no indication in any respect of them thawing any time soon. But a conflict between the Men in Blue and Green continues to be a huge crowd-puller, irrespective of where they're enjoying. An India-Pakistan conflict has most likely grow to be extra thrilling because it is now a rare breed of international cricket contention that is available for the fans simplest in small doses.
The jury is out on whether or not India should resume bilateral cricket ties with the neighbours. Pakistan is in a position, however a green signal from India can't be anticipated any time soon and Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir feels there should be one uniform rule when it comes to enjoying cricket with Pakistan. Talking to TimesofIndia.com Gambhir said, "If you want to ban someone from playing, you should ban them from playing every form of cricket, whether it's Asia Cup or ICC events. You can't have conditional bans in sports. You can't say we won't play bilateral series but we can't do anything about ICC events and Asia Cup. If you want to play Pakistan in Asia Cup, why don't you play bilateral series as well? If you don't want to play Pakistan in bilateral series, then don't play them in Asia Cup and in ICC events either. That is a decision that the BCCI and the Government needs to take."
Since January 2013, India and Pakistan have played no bilateral ODI series. But the 2 groups have clashed since then within the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy (India beat Pak by means of eight wickets by means of the D/L manner in a group recreation), the 2014 Asia Cup (Pakistan won by means of 1 wicket), the 2015 ICC ODI World Cup (India won by means of 76 runs) and twice on the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy (India won first fit by means of 124 runs by means of D/L manner and lost the general to Pakistan by means of 180 runs).
Gambhir the cricket fan though is taking a look ahead to India's conflict with Sarfraz Ahmed's staff on Wednesday in Dubai. He advised TimesofIndia.com, "From the game's point of view I am looking forward to it (India vs Pakistan Asia Cup group match), but I don't get too emotional about the fact that it's a match vs Pakistan. Ultimately, it's a game of cricket that India wants to win. Whether it's UAE, Pakistan or Sri Lanka. It's another game of cricket. People do think it's a big thing, India playing Pakistan, because we don't play them often and there are a lot of emotions involved in it, but as sportsman you don't go into the game thinking it's Pakistan, so we have to beat them. You want to beat every opposition possible because it's a matter of pride for your country. I think it will be a good game, because Pakistan is a decent side."
