The world knows that everything else is on the other side that India and Pakistan are on one side: Basit Ali

At the worldwide event, Neeraj had to settle for silver as Arshad broke a new Olympic record to win a gold medal. It is noteworthy that Neeraj extended his medal streak to silver in the previous Olympics after winning gold. Throwing insight on the rivalry, former Pakistani batter Basi Ali responded to Ravi Shastri’s assertion regarding the significance of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Over the years, the diplomatic relations between India and Pakistan have been somewhat unstable. The tensions increase as a result of geopolitical factors feeding the flames. Nonetheless, there is a single affinity shared by the two nations: cricket. Pakistan experienced some relief when Arshad Nadeem, an Indian javelin thrower, helped Neeraj Chopra win a gold medal at the Pari Olympics, despite India’s repeated outwitting of its neighbours.

Basit Ali made a joke on how India is inflating the Indo-Aus rivalry while ignoring the Ashes and comparing it to the Indo-Pak rivalry.

“They seem to be attempting to generate buzz. The world is aware that everything is on one side and India vs. Pakistan is on the other. Ashes isn’t even that large. You will thus now hear these kinds of claims. At the Paris Olympics, Arshad Nadeem defeated Neeraj Chopra; in any other case, India would have won a gold medal, Basit stated on his YouTube channel.

The Indian cricket team has stated that they will not be visiting Pakistan. Therefore, you can determine whether the India-Australia series or the India-Pakistan match is larger by holding a bilateral series in hockey, javelin, or kabaddi between India and Pakistan in a different nation. The entire world will be watching Neeraj and Arshad compete in the javelin, and the stadium will be packed, he continued.

Down beneath, India wants to win a BGT hat-trick.

India’s 2019 BGT claim allowed them to overcome Australia’s defensive wall. They triumphed in 2021 after doing the same, leaving Australians in wonder at their abilities back home.

By year’s end, the freshly formed Indian squad will travel to Kangaroo Land for the highly anticipated series, and a hat-trick would put India ahead in the rivalry that media and fans have built up over the years.
