There's a major issue when India and Pakistan play cricket against each other. Everyone gets extremely happy and is very eager to see what'll happen because they don't play each other that much just in major championships called ICC and ACC. And every time they do, all the fans everywhere think it's incredible to see. They made a new movie on Netflix that makes people remember how great this rivalry is.

India and Pakistan Cricket Rivalry: Fierce Battles and Lasting Friendships

The famous players such as Sourav Ganguly, Virender Sehwag, and Shoaib Akhtar ,there's even a part where Ganguly notes the time both countries played, but called it the Friendship Series, which is kind of amusing, because, be that as it might, they were really trying utterly hard or difficult to win not simply be friends.  Ganguly makes a joke about how it was called Friendship but jokes, Oh really, with Shoaib bowling inordinately speedily balls at me, it didn't seem like we were friends. And it's as if he's saying, discursively hinted, how they were all just trying to win hard. But then Shoaib says nice things back about Ganguly on the X (Twitter), praise is situational currency in today's world.

Akhtar says Ganguly is exceptionally wonderful and Indian cricket isn't the same without him. It shows they really respect each other even though they were rivals. Even though they work really hard to win against each other in the games, and there are some very near and thrilling endings, sometimes they do good deeds also.

Clearly showing that the game isn't the only important thing. For abject reason, they can still be peers. Like this one time, Virat Kohli gave his bat to Mohammad Amir, or when they hug after playing really tough games. It tells us that cricket can make people be friends even if they are from different places. The world stops to watch whenever India and Pakistan play each other, and they are going to do it again in Dubai on February 23. It's going to be a really cool Match, It's not only just about winning or losing, it's also about the two teams that have been rivals for so many years. They play very strongly but they also respect each other. Everyone can't wait to see what happens in the game, it's very thrilling.
