This is not scene of any Italian or Hollywood movie; these are our dashing legendary cricketers at Lord’s, UK in 1954

Nice professional dress code needs to be brought back very slick

5 moments from the Champions Trophy final that show cricket's power to heal

India, Pakistan have recently been embroiled in bitter disputes: can cricket heal the wounds of politics?


On Sunday, as Pakistan and India — arguably the biggest rivals in the cricketing world — went head-to-head for the coveted Champions Trophy, most cricket-crazy fans on both sides of the border expected sparks to fly.

The acrid hostility between the two countries is no secret, and with the war of words between the two countries intensifying with each new diplomatic spat, many expected the negativity to spill over into the cricketing fiInstead, what the whole world saw was both Pakistani and Indian cricketers engaging with each other on a personal level in what appeared to be a most dignified and sportsmanlike manner.

Here are five moments before, during and after the Champions Trophy final that should serve as as a reminder for citizens of both countries that, despite our political differences, we should probably start drawing a line between banter and outright disrespect when we engage over our favorite sport.

Dhoni's picture with Sarfraz's son becomes a viral sensation

A nice pic ahead of the Champions Trophy finals. @msdhoni with Sarfraz Ahmed baby: sports beyond boundaries!! #IndVsPak

Hours before the final, as media and fans ratcheted up pressure on their teams on both sides of the Pak-India border, 'Captain Cool' Mahindra Singh Dhoni warmed the hearts of cricketing fans when a photo showing him holding Pakistan Captain Sarfraz Ahmed's son in his arms went wildly viral on social media.

The picture prompted many emotional Pakistani cricket fans to forget the upcoming clash and heap praise on Dhoni for being their 'favourite' cricketer from the Indian side.

Shikhar Dhawan and Mohammad Hafeez's 'moment' before the match

Right before the game, as the players descended the pavilion to assemble for their respective national anthems, Pakistani all-rounder Muhammad Hafeez and Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan could briefly be seen sharing a friendly moment as they made way to the ground.

Going by their body language — Dhawan's arm was briefly around Hafeez's shoulder — one would assume they were old friends instead of fierce rivals.

Nothing but respect from the Indian skipper #CT17

12:44 PM - 18 Jun 2017

• Instead of avoiding giving credit to the winning side, Indian skipper Virat Kohli — during both the awards ceremony and his post-match press conference — was unequivocally appreciative about the quality cricket Pakistan played to earn the title of 'champions'.

During the post-match press conference, Kohli gave credit to the Pakistani bowling attack who forced his strong batting line-up to make mistakes.

"Credit to the opposition for forcing us to make mistakes because of the way they bowled and applied pressure on the field," he said, "We have no hesitation or shame to admit that we could not play our best game today."

His praise took a fair number of fans by surprise — India are giants in the game, and to see their captain hold the Pakistani side in such high regard meant much for the celebrating Pakistani fans.

It was also a departure from usual post-match press conferences, where losing captains are generally reticent in conceding the other side's strengths.

Players of both sides mingle after Pakistan claims the title.

9:00 PM - 18 Jun 2017

The Indian captain and Yuvraj Singh were seen sharing a joke with former Pakistani skipper Shoaib Malik and Pakistan's bowling coach, Azhar Mahmood, moments after Pakistan took the title from the Indian team.

The four could be seen laughing as Malik apparently cracked a joke about catching the ball.

The ICC shared the video clip on Twitter with the hashtag "#SpiritOfCricket.

We cannot disagree.

Indian players take time out for batsman Azhar Ali's sons

Thanks to these legends for sparing their time for my kids they were so happy.... @msdhoni @imVkohli @YUVSTRONG12

5:24 AM - 20 Jun 2017

Kohli, Yuvraj Singh and Dhoni also kept rivalry to the side when they took time out for the children of Pakistan's opening batsman, Azhar Ali.

The children's happiness at the Indian stars taking pictures with them was widely seen as a testament to how the love for cricket unites people divided by borders.

While both cricket boards continue to spar over a much-delayed bilateral cricket series between the two countries, these friendly exchanges at a highly personal level between their players show that the India-Pakistan cricketing rivalry seems to be maturing over time.

Sadly, news of supporters of rival sides being arrested and charged with criminal offenses continue to make headlines on both sides of the border, and open displays of affection for the opposing side are still considered unforgivable.

One hopes that both PCB and BCCI will put politics aside and continue striving to give Indian and Pakistani fans more opportunities to come together and enjoy, like the heroes they adore, the spirit of the Gentleman's Game.

Afghanistan, Ireland get Test status:

 

[DJ_Viper]

32% is also not a majority by the way..

Your leadership want to turn the country into Rwanda.. through corruption..

Mr. Zia also handed some bald people public posts which they never deserved..

Ok, that's it? You just have learned to counter a statement with another similar statement? In the modern politics, people like you and who you are following, are taking your country back to stone age through violence and these insanely manic statements like the one's you wrote on here. All criminals, corrupt, uneducated individuals who we never thought could survive in a real system whether it be Pakistan or elsewhere (unless its really Afghanistan), are growing their political shops very nicely, along with the cricketer-turn-charity runner-turned politicians - turned billionaire! It an example in the world how you can retire from Cricket in Pakistan and be a billionaire! The clan of people you write for, has the most corrupt people from every walk of life.

WhatsApp joke: People in Pakistan - Arre Yaar, abhi Parso hi toh naya TV kharida tha!

Got fed up with these irrelevant statistics man..you and I know the thrashing india has been giving Pakistan for the past 10 years

Just handover the cup to us and be done with it. Why even bother playing a match when you know we will thrash you. The only thing that can save Pakistan on the final is the stupid weather of UK and the D&L method.

Imran Bhai thoda jaban nu kabu rakho yaar.

wellll wanted to give you a very sweet reply but i think all my fellow friends have satisfied you quite a bit. So
