The rivalry between neighbours India and Pakistan is unrivalled. Even before the start of the Cricket World Cup 2019, fans from either side of the International Border have started sparring.
Early Thursday morning, the International Cricket Council (ICC) shared a Twitter post asking fans how far India will go in the 12th edition of the sport's biggest tournament with a listing of 1983 champions' history.
Soon, the popular social media platform became a battleground for rival fans.
Ranked second in ICC ODI rankings, India will enter the World Cup as one of the favourites, while Pakistan – 1992 winners – as usual remain as one of the most unpredictable sides.
