Without a shadow of doubt, the cricketing rivalry between India and Pakistan is one of the biggest in the sporting world. It becomes the battle of nerves as well as pride whenever these two South Asian arch-rivals come up against each other on the cricket field. Rivalry aside though, there seems to be a great bit of camaraderie between the top cricketers of both the nation.
One such moment of companionship between the players of both the countries was seen during the historic ICC Champions Trophy Final match at the Kennington Oval London on June 18, 2017. After losing the match by a huge margin of 180 runs, Indian cricketers showed a great heart and were spotted having a laugh with their counterpart.
On Thursday (December 7), the International Cricket Council (ICC) posted a video of that epic moment on their official Twitter page and captioned it as: “#SpiritOfCricket #CT17 #BestOf2017”.
