Sportsman spirit is what makes cricket a gentleman's game. We saw another such incident during India and Pakistan's game. They once again showed it that they are rivals but not the enemy.

Things are uneasy between the two countries but that's out of the ground, in the cricket arena, it's just another team for the players. 

During the game on Wednesday, the Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal helped out Pakistan's Usman Khan after his shoelaces had come undone. He tied the laces for him and the picture has now gone viral on social media.

The 'Aman Ki Aasha' hashtag has popped up on Twitter once again as fans lauded the Indian leggie for his gesture.

Talking about the game, it was a one-sided battle. Even in Virat Kohli's absence, the team performed very well as they outplayed Pakistan to register a comprehensive eight-wicket win. Batting first, the Sarfraz Ahmed side could only score 162 in 43.1 overs, India chased down the target in 29 overs and for the loss of just two wickets.

Here are the tweets:
