Which team you support????????????????? The India–Pakistan cricket rivalry is one of the most intense sports rivalries in the world.[1][2] An India-Pakistan cricket match has been estimated to attract up to three hundred million television viewers according to TV ratings firm Initiative. The 2011 World Cup Semifinal attracted around 1.5 billion TV viewers, the largest television event of the year. The arch-rival relations between the two nations, resulting from the extensive communal violence and conflict that marked the partition of India into India and Pakistan in 1947 and the subsequent Kashmir conflict, laid the foundations for the emergence of an intense sporting rivalry between the two nations who had erstwhile shared a common cricketing heritage. The first Test series took place in 1951-52, when Pakistan toured India. India toured Pakistan for the first time in 1954-55. Between 1962–77, no cricket was played between the two countries owing to two major wars in 1965 and 1971. The 1999 Kargil War and the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks have also interrupted cricketing ties between the two nations. The growth of large expatriate populations from India and Pakistan across the world led to neutral states like the United Arab Emirates and Canada hosting several bilateral and multi-lateral ODI series involving the two teams. Players in both teams routinely face intense pressure to win, and are threatened by extreme reactions in defeat. Extreme fan reactions to defeats in key matches such as in the ICC Cricket World Cup have been recorded, with a limited degree of violence and public disturbances. At the same time, India-Pakistan cricket matches have also offered opportunities for cricket diplomacy as a means to improve relations between the two countries by allowing heads of state to exchange visits and cricket followers from either country to travel to the other to watch the match. The first ever test match between India and Pakistan was played at Delhi from 16–19 October 1952. It was a four day test, India required just three days to beat Pakistan by an innings and 70 runs. India won the 5-match series 2–1 and then, the following 10 tests were draws. Pakistans first series win against India came after 26 years, in the 1978–79 series. Pakistan leads India in the number of wins in Tests (12–9) and One Day Internationals (71–50).[6] While India leads Pakistan in T20s (4-1). India has won all 8 World Cup matches against Pakistan whenever the two have encountered. The two teams have their next World Cup encounter during the ICC T20 World Cup in March 2014.[6] 7] Overall Tests[8] ODIs[9] T20Is[10] Matches played 59 125 5 Won by Pakistan 12 71 1 Won by India 9 50 4 Draw/Tie/No result 38 4 0 As of June 15, 2013 Defunct Tournaments Won[edit] Main Championship Titles India Pakistan World Championship of Cricket 1 0 Austral-Asia Cup 0 3 Asian Test Championship 0 1 Commonwealth Games 0 0 Asian Games 0 0 Individual[edit] Highest score in an innings • Virender Sehwag (India) – 309 at Multan Cricket Stadium, Multan, on 28 March 2004 • Javed Miandad (Pakistan) – 280* at Niaz Stadium, Hyderabad (Pakistan) on 14 January 1983 Best bowling figures in an innings • Anil Kumble (India) – 10/74 at Feroz Shah Kotla, Delhi on 7 February 1999 • Imran Khan (Pakistan) – 8/60 at National Stadium, Karachi on 27 December 1982 Best bowling figures in a match • Anil Kumble (India) – 14/149 at Feroz Shah Kotla, Delhi on 4–7 February 1999 • Fazal Mahmood (Pakistan) – 12/94 at University Ground, Lucknow on 23–26 October 1952 Most runs conceded in an innings • Kapil Dev (India) – 220 runs at Faisalabad on 3 January 1983. • Saqlain Mushtaq (Pakistan) – 204 runs at Multan Cricket M.
