Congratulations Pakistan. Well deserved. The 29 yr old jinx has finally ended.
Picture of the day! Congratulations Pakistan. Well deserved. The 29 yr old jinx has finally ended. Last year, following Pakistan’s victory in the 2021 World Cup game against India, Virat Kohli, captain of India at the time, went and hugged and and the picture went viral within a few seconds. Even during the , Indian players were seen inquiring about Shaheen Afridi’s fitness. Additionally, Babar expressed his sympathy for Kohli when he was going through a patch of bad form. All these events have led to some discussion over the nature of relations between the players of the two teams. During the show, a Pakistani journalist asked Kapil Dev whether the players were forced to make the relationship look like a brotherly bonding. In response, Kapil opined that it has remained the same for a long time and also took the name of Shahid Afridi who he felt could vouch for this fact. “See the relationship between the players has been the same for the last 20-25 years. I don’t think it has changed much. The players always share a good bond with each other. Ask Shahid Afridi, even he will say that they used to have dinner together.” Owing to the political tension between the two nations, the Asian giants only meet each other in multilateral tournaments. Fans from both countries have always been very vocal and have always lashed out at their team whenever they have lost to the arch-rivals. Kapil Dev also stated that these matches have a unique charm because they hardly play against each other. Take a look at the full video of the interaction: “However when it comes to spectators, they tend to get carried away as people from both the nations are very emotional about their teams. See it’s good to see the respect between the players, there is no respect on the field as every team wants to give their best and win. "As I said earlier, the charm between India-Pakistan games will lose its sheen if we play each other every month or the other."
