Recently, Indian cricket legends and good friends Sachin Tendulkar and Saurav Ganguly voiced their opinion on Twitter over the issue of the India-Pakistan match scheduled in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. Just like their opening partnerships in ODI cricket, where they initially weathered the storm to gradually dominate and succeed as a duo, the twitter exchange which seemed like a difference of opinion ultimately turned out to be a friendly exchange of words among the two stalwarts of Indian cricket.

India's cricketing ties with Pakistan in the near future looks in jeopardy following the terrorist attack by Jaish-e-Mohammed in Pulwama, Kashmir, which claimed the lives of more than 40 CRPF jawans. The Indian cricket fraternity has a varied opinion, while a majority of former Indian players have voiced their opinion that India should not play Pakistan, other former players have reasoned that by not playing against Pakistan in the upcoming World Cup, India will be gifting free points to their arch-rivals.
