New Delhi: India and Pakistan divided by a boarder sharing similar tastes, religion, people and similarly the love for cricket.
India plays Pakistan in their much-hyped encounter on Saturday in
the Champions Trophy, Pakistan who is out of the tournament and India
who is already through the semi-finals have nothing much to gain from
this match when it comes to the points table.
But has ever an India-Pakistan game been just about points, it has
always been about winning at any cost, it is about beating your opponent
down and out.
Obviously when both these teams play, their nations comes to a
stand-still, the hype is such that the tickets for this match were sold
within 30 minutes of going for sale online.
When the stakes are so high, emotions are bound to run high too. Fans are very much involved in verbal duels in the stands.
Tempers and emotions also run high on the field, when the players
of both the countries face off and they know that losing is not an
option.
As India plays Pakistan, we take a look at the some of the most famous on-field fights between Indian and Pakistani players.
Gautam has always been very tempramental on the field and Shahid Afridi is no sheep either.
Tempers rose when they both clashed
Gautam Gambhir Vs Kamran Akmal in Asia Cup 2010.
Gautam was irritated with Kamran Akmal's constant apppealing from behind the stumps.
Kamran Akmal Vs Ishant Sharma in 1st T20 in December 2012.
Ishant on his follow through gave Kamran a peice of his mind but Kamran gave Ishant a tast of his own medicine
Harbhajan Singh vs Shoaib Akhtar in 2010 ODI.
Both clashed at the end of Shoaib's over, Harbhajan hit the winning
shot of the match and what followed was Bhajji roaring and punching in
the air.
Another classic from the vault, Aamir Sohail hits Prasad for a
four, pointing that he'll hit the next ball in the same direction too.
Well what happened next made this one a classic.
Javed Miandad vs Kiran More in 1992 World cup.
This is one of the classes, Miandad's jumping sessions made him a very famous man.
