The Indian and Pakistani cricket teams have been long-time arch rivals and their rivalry is considered one of the most intense sports rivalries in the world[2][3] An India-Pakistan cricket match has been estimated to attract up to three hundred million television viewers according to well respected TV ratings firm Initiative, and defeat is usually unacceptable to fans of both teams.

[edit] Background

See also: Indo-Pakistani relations

The rivalry began with the Partition of India in 1947, with Pakistan gaining independence, the subsequent Kashmir dispute and the wars and conflicts that followed afterward between the two countries. This dispute has affected both diplomatic and political relations, and the same animosity can be felt on the field. A match between the two countries is often equated with war. Often a political or diplomatic tension has a fallout on the cricket relations between the two countries including suspension of cricket tours to the other country.

[edit] Matches

An India versus Pakistan match at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi

The first ever test match between India and Pakistan was played at Delhi from 16 to 18 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. Pakistan's first series win against India came after 26 years, in 1978–79 series.

In the late 1980s & 90s, the Indian and Pakistani cricket teams played each other in non-Test-playing nations venues such as Canada (Toronto) and the United Arab Emirates (Sharjah). The series between the teams in Canada in the 1990s and early 2000s were officially known as the "Friendship Cup".[4]

Pakistan leads India in the number of wins in both Tests (12–9) and One Day Internationals (69–47).[5] Although India has won on every occasion the two teams have met in a world cup and has unbeaten record against Pakistan in the T20 world cup Internationals (2–0) and in cricket world Cup matches (5–0).[5]

In early 2009, India was scheduled to begin a tour of Pakistan from 13 January to 19 February 2009, but was cancelled because of the tension existing between the two countries after the Mumbai Terror Attacks, in November 2008.[6]

[edit] Memorable Moments (from India's perspective)

  • In 1984, the Indian team led by Kapil Dev was bowled out for 125 in Sharjah. In reply, India bowled out Imran Khan's Pakistan team for a paltry 87. This was one of those rare matches in the sub-continent a low-scoring game that was a thriller all the way. It was India's fielding that won the day and leading the way was veteran opening batsman Sunil Gavaskar, who took four catches, a world record which would stand till 1993 when it was broken by South Africa's Jonty Rhodes.
  • During 1996 World Cup Quarter Final, in Bangalore, Ajay Jadeja hit 18 & 22 runs in the 48th & 50th over of the innings against Waqar Younis (a fiery bowler at the time). Though numerically insignificant, Ajay Jadeja smashing 45 swung the match away from Pak in this tension-packed knockout match.
  • In the same 1996 World Cup Quarter Final, During Pakistan chase, Aamer Sohail clobbered Venkatesh Prasad for 2 consecutive boundaries to the offside field. In attempt to unsettle Prasad he pointed his bat towards the offside region threatening to smash Prasad for one more boundary. Instead, the next ball lead to Sohail's demise, getting bowled by Prasad. Pakistan ended up losing the match albeit the flying start from Anwar/Sohail.
  • In the Sahara Friendship series, Toronto, 1997 Sourav Ganguly single handedly won the series for India. He scored a total of 222 runs and bagged 15 wickets in six games (the third was abandoned after 31.5 overs) helping India to a 4–1 victory over Pakistan.
  • In the final of the Independence Cup 1998 at the National stadium in Dhaka, India won by three-wickets with a ball to spare after Sourav Ganguly hit 124 runs and ultimately H Kanitkar hit Saqlain Mushtaq for a crucial boundary off the second-last ball of the innings. 316 at the time was the highest chased ODI total before being broken by Aus (414).
  • On 8 February 1999 at Ferozshah Kotla in Delhi, Anil Kumble picked all 10 wickets in an innings against Pakistan to become one of only two bowlers in the history of Test cricket to achieve that feat. India beat Pakistan by 212 runs.
  • In a group game of the 2003 Cricket World Cup, at Centurion, India were chasing 273 against a legendary Pakistani attack (Wasim, Waqar, Akhtar, Razzaq, Afridi) on a lively pitch. In response, Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag got of to a stunning start scoring 53 in 5 overs. India eventually won the game with 4 overs to spare. Thus, India maintained always a "winning consistency" or "never lose" against Pakistan in world cup cricket history.
  • Virender Sehwag made 309 (375 balls, 531 minutes, 39 fours, 6 sixes) against Pakistan in the 1st Test match of India's tour of Pakistan at Multan Cricket Stadium, Pakistan. Virender Sehwag became the first Indian to hit a Test triple century. This test match was memorable because India clinched a historic win in Pakistan. Sehwag reached his landmark 300 hitting Saqlain Mushtaq for six.
  • At Vishakhapatnam stadium in 2005, Mahendra Singh Dhoni celebrated his maiden ODI century against Pakistan with a cracking 148, the highest score by an Indian against Pakistan in a ODI. India posted their highest total against Pakistan of 356 for 9. This marked the arrival of Dhoni to the international scene. Virender Sehwag, furiously applauded Dhoni's feat, clapping right through his walk back to the pavilion. Sehwag, who increasingly had become the go-to guy every time India needed quick runs, was relieved to a companion to share his load.
  • In India's 2005 tour of Pakistan, India created a personal landmark by beating Pakistan in their backyard 4–1 in a 5 match ODI series. Yuvraj Singh scored 344 runs in 5 matches while Mahendra Singh Dhoni scored 219 runs in four innings at a strike rate of 137.
  • Irfan Pathan claimed a first over hat-trick against Pakistan, becoming the second person (Nuwan Zoysa being the first), to achieve this feat in a test match in the first over. Pakistan's top order batsmen included Salman Butt (caught by Rahul Dravid at slip), Younis Khan (LBW) and Mohammand Yousuf (bowled). This feat also made Pathan the second Indian to achieve a test hat trick (the other being Harbhajan Singh). Pakistan won the match though.
  • The First T20 World cup was played in South Africa, 2007 & the First T20 match between India & Pakistan ended in a classic Tie leading to a bowl-out which India won 3–0.
  • India beat Pakistan in the semifinal of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 held at Mohali on 30 March 2011 and confirmed its place in the Finals against Sri Lanka. The match had created a great deal of hype because of the ongoing tensions between the two nations.

[edit] Memorable Moments (from Pakistan's perspective)

  • In the 1986 Australasia cup final in Sharjah, Chetan Sharma, famous for grabbing a hat-trick in a World-Cup, was about to bowl the last ball of the match with Pakistan needing four runs to win. He bowled a low full-toss outside the leg-stump, which was hit for six by Javed Miandad. This made Sharma a villain in the eyes of Indian fans, while Miandad was hailed as a hero.
  • In the first test match of the Pakistan-India test series in 1999 India needed 271 runs to win in the fourth innings. With only Tendulkar putting up resistance, with his dismissal and the score on 254, Pakistan tightened the screws and forced an Indian collapse winning the test match by 12 runs.
  • In a test match at Niaz Stadium, Hyderabad (Pakistan) on 14 January 1983. Javed Miandad scored an unbeaten 280* for Pakistan against 83' World Cup winning side of India and as a result Pakistan beat India.
  • The 1999 tri series in Australia was a famous one for Pakistan. Although Pakistan did not win the series they were able to beat rivals India in 3 out of the 4 matches they played against India.
  • A sledging incident involving Javed Miandad and Kiran More where Miandad famously imitated More during a match by jumping up and down on the pitch. A scene questionable, but equally hilarious.
  • Saeed Anwar struck a superb 194 against India in Chennai, India in 1997. The match was won by Pakistan. It is one of the greatest innings played by a batsman in an ODI breaking Sir Viv Richards previous record of 189*.
  • Opening batsmen Saeed Anwar struck a match winning 188* against India in the Asian Test Championship in 1999 in India. Pakistan went on to win the match due to this knock.
  • In the Wills trophy final played in Sharjah, Aaqib Javed claimed a hat-trick against India with his best bowling figures of 7/37 off 10 overs. It's the only hat-trick in Cricket in which all three batsmen were outlbw. Aaqib, only 19 years and 81 days at the time, remains the youngest cricketer to accomplish this feat.
  • During the third and final match of the 1997 ODI series between India and Pakistan, which was level at 1–1, Ijaz Ahmed completely dominated the Indian attack smashing 139 not out off only 84 balls. His brutal onslaught which included 9 sixes and 10 fours helped Pakistan chase down a target of 216 in a mere 26.2 overs with 9 wickets remaining.
  • The first test match of the Asian Test Championship played at Eden Gardens, Calcutta from 16–20 February 1999 is arguably the most controversial test encounter the two nations have ever played. The match was and has remained the best-attended cricket match in history with total attendance of around 465,000 people. The game is particularly remembered due to the extraordinary performances by Pakistan's Shoaib Akhtar for 4/71 and 4/47, Saeed Anwar for 188 not out for batting throughout the second innings. Controversy ensued when Tendulkar was run out in the second innings to which the Indian crowd reacted angrily to. It resulted in them causing a riot and the police and officials having to remove most of the crowd and the remainder of the test having to be watched with the stadium near empty, Pakistan eventually won the test by 46 runs.
  • Pakistan defeated India in the second match of the Carlton and United Series on 10 January 2000, with Waqar Younis and Saqlain Mushtaq making a 43 run partnership and scoring the winning runs off the last ball of the match.
  • Pakistan won their first ever win in an ICC event against India in the 2004 Champions Trophy in England. With Mohammad Yousuf (Yousaf Youhanna at that time) struck a beautiful knock of 81* and took Pakistan to the winning line.
  • In the 2003 Videocon Cup, in Amsterdam, Shahid Afridi before the start of the match claimed that Irfan Patan was no match for him and he would hit a 6 off the first ball. Shahid Afridi came with Yasir Hameed as the opening pair to the match, and Irfan Patan was the opening bowler. Yasir Hameed made 1 run and rotated the strike to Shahid Afridi, in which he smashed a 6 off Irfan Patan. The ball landed outside of the stadium and was lost in the nearby stream and a new ball had be brought in....
  • Salman Butt scored five out of seven centuries of his career against the arch-rivals India. He scored his debut century against India at BCCI's Platinum Jubilee Celebration in 2005 at Eden Garden Calcuttawhich Pakistan won by six wickets.
  • In the fifth ODI in Kanpur, 15 April 2005 Shahid Afridi smashed a 45 ball century making him first and third on the list of fastest centuries in ODI cricket (moved down to fourth after Mark Boucher's 44 ball century in 2006).
  • In the 2006 Karachi test, Pakistan came back from 39/6 in the first innings to win the match convincingly by 341 runs. Thanks to Kamran Akmal's knock of 113 in the first innings and Mohammad Asif's figures of 7/126.
  • Pakistan won a memorable 2006 series in India. After losing the first two ODI's, Pakistan went on to win the next 4 ODI's clinically claiming the series 4–2. It was a famous win for Pakistan as they were hinted as the weakest Pakistani team to tour India.
  • Pakistan beat India in 2009 edition of Champions Trophy by 54 runs. Shoaib Malik went on to score 128 runs with help of 16 boundaries. This was Malik's 4th century against India, managing an overall average of 51 against India (updated January 2012).

[edit] Players who have played for both teams

After the partition in 1947, Pakistan emerged to play cricket. But India had already been playing cricket matches pre-independence. No player has ever played for India after playing for Pakistan. Three players have played for Pakistan after appearing for India. They are:

  • Amir Elahi – India (one test vs. Australia at Sydney in 1947), Pakistan (1952–53)
  • Gul Mohammad – India (1946–55), Pakistan (one test vs. Australia at Karachi in 1956)
  • Abdul Hafeez Kardar – India (1946–48), Pakistan (1948–58)

Although Pakistan was created in 1947, Gul Mohammad continued to represent India until 1954, and played for India against Pakistan in Pakistan's first tour of India in 1951-52.
