Cricket is one of the most exciting game for the people of India and Pakistan. They love it and liked it from the core of their hearts from years people on both sides have passionate and zealous about this game. Cricket is burning topic now a day’s mostly discussed on shops and other places. Sincerely it is a game of very interesting and suspicious predominantly in every match there is big crowed on both sides of the stadium they support their favourite team. Many of the people called cricket as the king of games. Significantly cricket is the game of brotherhood and intensifies values and self- discipline. It keeps the players healthy and fit develops a sense of determination and capability and remove the mental stress. In every institution cricket should be part of academic curricula in fact sports inculcates good values and formation of good character. Broadly speaking cricket is only game that can bring both the nations together no matter what their religious beliefs and culture is. Cricket can normalise relationship between India and Pakistan it is good time for both the nations to show positive approach towards each other and cricket can abridge their complexity into a better perspective. Unfortunately from the last many year’s politics pushed a unifier game towards the game of war they have restricted and shortened its broad sense of meaning. They have turned noble game into scandalous. In Asian countries people enjoy the game at its best as per my view point it is the only game which helped to draw enormous crowds to cricket grounds which have become the main source of funds for both the countries. In fact it is a game of glorious uncertainties, requiring a lot of thoughts at every stage. In India people worshipped cricketers like revered as gods. When India and Pakistan plays a match against each other both the nations leave their work and watching the match if one of the country wins they celebrated it with great pomp and show. People let off crackers to celebrate the victory. From last many years the relationship between the two countries is not good every day it complexes its ties. Always they look each other in a suspicious and apprehensive ways. Back towards history relationship between two countries was friendly. First India and Pakistan cricket series was played in 1954 when Pakistan team toured to India. Later thousands of Indian fans were granted visa to go to Lahore .The Pakistan did the same when their team toured to India in 1961.Both the nations considered cricket as a game of love binds the people emotionally on both sides. After 1990’s insurgency cricket becomes the centre of attention for both the countries even those who don’t like cricket they too glued to their television. Politicians look cricket as a game of diplomacy they use it as a tool in election campaigns and create an atmosphere of fear and many time game of brotherhood turns victim of politics. Though there are many intellectual people who think sports have nothing to do with diplomatic affairs simply it is game for entertainment and recreation. Cricket is mostly followed game and there are many cricket lovers on both sides now it responsibility of both the Prime Ministers to respect sentiments of people. Let us hope cricket will bring both the nations together and feel the pleasure and willing to communicate with each other neighbourly. Also spectators shouldn’t not looks towards it as a game of war as everyone knows war is the is only game were no one wins. May both teams prosper well in on going world cup and play game with comradeship and lot of love.
