Indian speedster Jasprit Bumrah has a look-alike in Lahore

The India-Pakistan rivalry is one of the most intense rivalries in the cricketing arena. The arch-rival relations between two nations eventually led to the emergence of intense sporting rivalry. The players from both sides face extreme pressure to win and there is a different sort of air around India vs Pakistan matches and is even more than a tournament final unless of course, these two teams are playing it.

The tense political scenario between the two nations has impacted on their sports relations as well. Many would disagree, but this has been one of the several reasons why every India-Pakistan match turns out to be more than just a match.

However, all the buzz doesn’t restrict a cricket fan from enjoying lighter moments. A picture circulating on the Internet shows a look-alike of Indian speedster Jasprit Bumrah, at Lahore. The fan quoted, “Thank you @Jaspritbumrah93 for came (coming) Pakistan to watch Pakistan vs World XI matches. You always support Pakistan in big events”.

Here’s the picture

Pakistan-World XI

In the recently concluded Independence Cup between Pakistan and World XI, the T20I series went in favour of the hosts. However, for Pakistan as a country, it’s definitely more than that. The four days carnival, though, has left the fans, administration, and players with a lot of promising prospects. The result, however, considering the priority wasn’t the main motive, but hosts by winning the series make it a treat for every fan who has waited for nine long years.

The coming International tour of Sri Lanka and Windies should now go by the plan. A series or two like this will make ICC more confident, and help Pakistan to play on their home soil.
