Reason for the hype of the India-Pakistan game?
The two countries have diplomatic relations and the political interferences won’t allow a bilateral series between the two country’s cricket teams. And we only have to see the clash between the arch-rivals either in the ICC tournaments or in the Asia Cups. That’s why the fans from both sides, or even all around the world are always excited to see the two teams playing against each other. With so much hype, the pressure to perform well and win the game is also huge for both the team players.
