Do you watch an India-Pakistan match seated on the same chair for the entire duration? In both countries, cricket is the only major sport, and fans are normally given an overdose of hysteria when both countries lock horns against each other in the game of cricket.
Officially the Asia Cup 2022 kicks off on August 27 with a match between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan. But, thousands of fans arrived for the tournament for the blockbuster clash between Pakistan and India in Dubai on Sunday. The arch-rivals clash in one of the biggest games of the tournament with an estimated global television audience of billions of people.
ย The online chatter and banter between India-Pakistan fans have taken the microblogging site Twitter by storm. Take a look
