While Indian and Pakistani cricketers share a cordial relationship off the field, sometimes things have got heated out in the middle...Kiran More vs Javed Miandad, Sydney 1992Bully of Baroda and champion sledger Kiran More vs the King of Karachi, the ultimate street fighter, Javed Miandad. They went at each other in the first-ever World Cup match between the two Asian giants.

"...Pressure Was Evident On His Face": Ex-India Spinner's Huge Statement On Virat Kohli

Team India is all geared up for the high voltage Asia Cup clash against Pakistan on Sunday. Like always, this clash is also going to grab all the attention from the cricket fans because of the rivalry between the two teams.

Asia Cup 2022, India vs Pakistan: Battle for bragging rights resumes in storied rivalry

In recent years, India have had an answer to every question posed by Pakistan in multilateral events, right up until last year's T20 World Cup, when it was the men in green who triumphed instead in dominant fashion. TOI traces past contests and looks at how history might impact today's match...One hundred and fifty two for no loss in 17. 5 overs. Certain numbers hurt you like no other if you are an Indian cricket tragic. It was Pakistan's uncharacteristically composed riposte to an underwhelming 151/7 by India in the 2021 T20 World Cup opener in Dubai's Ring of Fire. Heavy dew during their chase was an able ally for the men in green as they beat their dispirited and stunned rivals. Skipper Babar Azam and deputy Mohammed Rizwan underlined the domination that was triggered by Shaheen Shah Afridi's quick, lethal twin strikes that consumed Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul.

India vs Pakistan: Best of the Asia Cup

Whether played over 50 or 20 overs, the biggest attraction of this tournament has always been the high-octane Indo-Pak rivalry. A look at five memorable battles...KHANNA THE SURPRISE HERO (SHARJAH, 1984)A top-class Pakistan team was tipped to beat India when the inaugural Asia Cup took place in April, 1984. But a fine knock by wicketkeeper-batsman Surinder Khanna (56 off 72 balls) helped India get to 188-4 in 46 overs on a difficult wicket. Roger Binny and Ravi Shastri then helped bowl Pakistan out for just 134 in 39.4 overs. Khanna effected two stumpings too. Scores: Ind 188-4 in 46 overs (Surinder Khanna 56, Sandeep Patil 43, Sunil Gavaskar 36*) beat Pak 134 in 39. 4 overs (Mohsin Khan 35; Roger Binny 3-33, Ravi Shastri 3-40) by 54 runs

Asia Cup: Virat Kohli brings focus back on mental health issues

World Cup has hit a hurdle as Virat Kohli has struggled to regain form. As the team management and selectors endure anxious times and fret over taking a tough call on Kohli, he has decided to talk about his problems and conceded he was "faking intensity over the last few months."

I came to realize that I was trying to fake my intensity a bit recently," Kohli stunned the cricketing world early on Saturday morning. "I was convincing myself that "no, you had the intensity'.

As India gear up for their opening Asia Cup encounter on Sunday against arch-rivals Pakistan, Rishabh Pant has been working on his power-hitting.

The southpaw on Saturday took to Instagram to share snippets of what he has been up to in the nets ahead of India's big game, and most of it involves sending the ball into orbit.
