3 players who played for both India and Pakistan

The Partition created one of the greatest sporting rivalries in the world. A cricket match between these two nations is now one of the world's most watched events and is used to promote their respective nationalisms. "India playing Pakistan involves the sentiments of millions," said Wasim Akram, one of Pakistan's all-time greatest cricketers and now a commentator. "You become a hero if you perform well... you are portrayed as a villain if your team loses," he went on to add. Sportskeeda@SportskeedaJust imagine
