India vs Pakistan in any sports is no easy match, the expectation of countrymen back home comes automatically and burden on their shoulders. Whether they share a nice relation between them (players) these pressure led them to tense situations.
What is the origin of the India-Pakistan cricket rivalry? Before 1947, the regions now known as India and Pakistan were both parts of British India. When British rule in India ended, two separate countries - India and Pakistan - were created along religious lines principally, and many people were killed as millions moved home in an attempt to live in the country where they would be part of the religious majority. Since then, India and Pakistan have fought four official wars and have been involved in various other conflicts.
So the cricket rivalry is an extension of the political conflict? While political tension was certainly the origin of the India-Pakistan cricket rivalry, it has, over the years, forged a history of its own. There have been several periods during which the teams have been evenly matched, leading to hard-fought matches, close series and exciting moments.

Over the past decade, the relationship between India and Pakistan has included periods of outright belligerence as well as moments of rapprochement. And the prospects for expanding cricket ties between the two countries have risen and fallen in tandem with the broader tenor of the relationship.
Pakistan’s newly elected Prime Minister Imran Khan is himself a cricket legend who reportedly would like more matches between the two countries but because of the upcoming elections in India, Government will not take any risk to irk citizens.
