India vs Pakistan has always been a spectacle filled with everlasting memories. Yesterday's match saw India dominating the men in green with an emphatic victory. What with all the political turmoil and the recent attacks, the match was a breath of fresh air for all of us.

Moments like these make you forget your worries. But it is not always about the result or the stats involved. Between all the rain and rivalry, there were two people up on the stands at Edgbaston, who provided for the greatest moment of all India-Pakistan matches. Sitting hand in hand, side by side. They weren't supporting a particular team, they came to support cricket. What a moment!

Yes, we won the game. But these two won our hearts. They signify everything that cricket stands for. We are rivals on the pitch, but we are all humans off it. It is always, more than just a game.

I was wondering in a Indo-pak clash Sania Mirza would be one person who would be happy no matter who wins

Yet the sense remains that even in Birmingham, where one in five people is British Indian or British Pakistani, the rivalry has lost a little of its edge. Before the match, India’s captain, Virat Kohli, described it as “just another game.” While Kohli did not speak for the fans, there was little obvious antagonism between supporters of different teams, who happily took selfies with one another and sat together in a way unimaginable to rival supporters at a Premier League soccer match.

Its sad to see how the mighty has fallen. Pakistan always had good bowlers, but none of their bowlers would be good enough to selected in English, Australian, Indian or even Kiwi team. They used to be my favourite team after India, so feel sorry for them.

Birmingham is full of Pakistanis but stadium was fill of Indians as Pakistani crowd didn't turn up due to Ramzan.
I was also planning to buy tickets . But didn't as can't leave fasting for a game, and can't sit all day in stadium while keeping fast.
