Cricket Gentlemen: A gesture of peace among Pakistan and India

Author: Mubashir Ali Mubashir

When either media depict India and Pakistan on one another’s throats, when legislator wanted to sustain the regular days, and when soldiers of either side critically requested to have a go-ahead; still at such time the civilians of both nations asked: to live in peace like a brother or like common neighbors.

A similar kind of story which reflects the civilians of both Pakistan and India became famous in social media; when Pakistani cricket stars Shaheen Shah Afridi, Yasir Shah, Imran Khan, and Naseem Shah organized a dinner for an Indian Sikh cab driver.

Climax broke here: when Pakistani cricket stars were going to Brisbane for supper. They called a cab for drives; and when they came to Brisbane the cab driver who was an India, wouldn’t charge them; saying “how might I charge from my brothers”. Accordingly, the gathering of cricket stars carried the generous cabbie to have dinner with them.

The story was described by a commentator, Alison Mitchell, during the Test match of Pak and Aussies; with him, the same cab driver had shared the story while driving Mitchell to someplace back at home.

“I refused them to charge: in respect, and asked them to have a selfie with them; after which all the fiver players invited me to join them in the meal”, the cab driver told Mitchell.

Though, India has refused to play bilateral cricket with Pakistan over the past few years, citing security reasons. Even, before World Cup 2019, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) under the supervision of Prime Minister Modi, asked to cancel the match of Pakistan with India, later though changed it due to the curbs of the law. Be that as it may, the reaction to the recent video suggests that cricketing fans along with cricket stars want the two teams to resume cricketing ties: even.
