Original: India vs Pakistan is the toxic rivalry cricket cannot do without
India and Pakistan faced off again in cricket, a fixture that remains the sport's biggest commercial and emotional draw despite deep political hostility between the two countries. Commentators note the rivalry is toxic — shaped by wars, terrorism disputes and boycotts — yet audiences and broadcasters keep demanding it, making it a fixture cricket cannot afford to lose.
Why now: A high-profile India-Pakistan cricket match has reignited debate over the fixture's political baggage and unmatched appeal.
