Indo-Pak Series

Its winter in most part of the globe. India is no exception too. Cold waves is hitting the Northern Belts severely claiming a few lives too. Common health hazards like fever,cold and cough are troubling all sections of people all across the country. Though viral-fever and flu are affecting people to some extent, one fever that is spread all over the country and affects everyone severely is the cricket fever. The cause being the Indo-Pak series played in Pakistan for the next 45 days.

The passion for the game of cricket in this part of the world is incredible. People from all sections and of all ages are anxious about the series. True, the arch-rivalry between the two countries is considered to be of more venom than the ashes that is played between Australia and England. The two teams would be playing the third series in less than 2 years. India visiting its rival for the second time in 2 years.

Even before the series is likely to start, the pakistan skipper started playing the mind game on the indians by announcing the kind of tracks that the indians would play. Ofcourse, his indian counterpart would not bother much about that. Despite there is much hype prevailing about the series, both the captains are very cautious and calculative about what they talk and what they decide. Neither of them are followers of what history tells them.

On whats going to be an intriguing series between the rivals, both the teams look equally balanced though Pakistan would try to capitulate on the home advantage. The indians on the other hand have tasted success against the srilankans in both the forms of cricket and so did the pakistanis too had a good run against england. Inspite of all the the hype, home advantage and banking on Shoaib and Co., the indian batting line-up is still a pretty strong line-up on paper. The current form also being a key aspect of the team makes it a huge tussle between the rivals. An exciting and nail biting tussle is on the cards leaving that the team that holds its nerves is likely to emerge as the winners of the rubber.
