India–Pakistan sports rivalries

Pakistan are frequent rivals across a variety of sports, with matches between the two countries considered to be one of the most intense sports rivalries in the world, especially in cricket.[1] The tense relations between the two nations which emerged from bitter diplomatic relationships and conflict that originated during the Partition of British India into India and Pakistan in 1947, the Indo-Pakistani Wars, and the Kashmir conflict established the foundations for the emergence of an intense sporting rivalry between the two nations.[2]

## Men's cricket

Panoramic view of a 2015 Cricket World Cup match between India and Pakistan

The two sides first played in 1952, when Pakistan toured India. Test and, later, limited overs series have been played ever since, although a number of planned tours by both sides have been cancelled or aborted due to political factors. No cricket was played between the two countries between 1962 and 1977 due to two major wars in 1965 and 1971 and the 1999 Kargil War and the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks have also interrupted cricketing ties between the two nations.[30]
