PAK vs IND: There is no rivalry in cricket more heated or personal than the one between India and Pakistan. These two cricketing heavyweights have a long history of epic fights on the field, with games that have become symbols of national pride that go well beyond the realm of sport. The much-anticipated encounter on September 2 between India and Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2023 was also rained out. Despite the setback, a touching video surfaced that showed the true spirit of sportsmanship and the uniting force of cricket.
Cricket fans all around the world were moved by a video that went viral during the mayhem of the Asia Cup’s first match. In this clip, a Pakistani lady talks to a reporter about the game and, most especially, how much she admires Virat Kohli, the former captain of the Indian cricket team. The location, with the crowd filled with cheering Pakistani cricket fans, made the event all the more memorable.
An elderly guy made a move to cut her off as she spoke of how much she admired Virat Kohli. However, she replied with a grace and feeling of oneness that went beyond borders. She told him, “Uncle, loving your neighbours isn’t a bad thing” (Chacha, padosiyon se pyaar karna koi buri baat toh nahi hai). Her sentiments chimed with the belief that cricket, in all its splendour, can unite people across vast differences and spread a message of peace.
