One of the most anticipated Cricket matches are the matches between India and Pakistan.

The choas, the rush and adrenaline about an India-Pakistan Match is something else, and when no other two teams play cricket that kind of adrenaline is witnessed among people.

With the partition of the two countries in 1947, the Cricket rivalry also began in both the countries.

The two countries played their first cricket test series in 1952, just five years after India and Pakistan gained independence. The series was hosted by Pakistan and India won the series 2-1.

Since then India and Pakistan have played numerous matches against each other, including test matches, one-day internationals, and T20 matches. The cricket matches between the two countries are highly anticipated and draw a lot of attention and excitement from cricket fans around the world.

Their matches are considered one of the most intense sports rivalries of the world, and also draw huge audience and are also one of the most viewed matches in the world. It is often termed as the El Clásico of cricket.

The tense relations between the two countries, and often bitter diplomatic relationships and conflicts between the two nations often led to more tension on the ground of cricket, and a lot of times the game of sports turned out ugly.

The Kashmir conflict, laid the foundations for the emergence of an intense sporting rivalry between the two nations who had shared a common cricketing heritage.

A lot of times, India and Pakistan didn't play with each other, and matches were cancelled from both the sides due to political factors and tensions among the borders in the countries.

No cricket was played between the two countries between 1962 and 1977 due to two major wars in 1965 and 1971, and the 1999 Kargil War and the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks have also interrupted cricketing ties between the two nations. After each terrorist attack in India, it was revealed that these terrorist attacks were planned by Pakistan, ISI, and Pakistan-based terrorist organisations.
