Of course, Indo-Pak matches are no less than a war between the two nations. However, cricketers of each team try their best to spread peace and harmony amongst their fans.

Despite being foes on the field, they exhibit great generosity through their simple, yet appreciable actions once the game is over.

Let’s take a jog down the memory lane to recall all the times Indian and Pakistani cricketers bonded with each other. They are giving the world some serious sportsmanship goals!
