India vs Pakistan: A Rivalry for the Ages

One of the most heated sporting rivalries in the world is the one between India and Pakistan. Intensity is a hallmark of the games between India and its neighbor. It is regarded as one of the largest games in the world and one of the most watched sporting events.

The tense relations between the two countries—the result of sour diplomatic ties and conflict that began with the partition of British India into India and Pakistan in 1947, the Indo-Pakistani Wars, and the Kashmir dispute—laid the groundwork for the emergence of a fierce sporting rivalry between the two countries, who had previously shared a history of cricket.

In 1952, when Pakistan was touring India, the two teams first faced off. Since then, limited-overs series and tests have been played, while some planned tours by both teams have been canceled or abandoned due to political issues.
