World Cup 2023: With the blockbuster IND vs PAK starting in a couple of hours, the Pakistan Cricket Team made their way to the Narendra Modi Stadium to prepare for the ‘biggest clash’ in cricket. And Indian fans once again highlighted their love for the sport as they greeted Babar Azam and Co. as they made their way to the stadium.
In a video shared by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Indian fans on the streets can be seen waving the Men in Green as their team bus makes its way from their hotel to the stadium.
This highlights that Indian cricket fans hold the sport in much higher regard and are not just fans of the Indian cricket team but of the sport as a whole.

The reason behind calls to boycott IND vs PAK match
Just a couple of weeks before the Pakistan Cricket Team arrived in India, an Indian Army Colonel commanding a Rashtriya Rifles Unit, along with a Major and a Deputy Superintendent of Police, were killed in a gunfight with terrorists in Kashmir.
Once the Men in Green were greeted upon their arrival in Hyderabad ahead of the warm-up matches, people were up in arms and accused BCCI of giving special treatment to the people from a nation that aids terrorism in India.
