Pakistan cricket team warmly welcomed in India

Pakistan’s cricket team arrived in India after a gap of almost seven years to cheers from fans and welcome from their Indian colleagues to participate in the 13th edition of ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup starting from 5 October.

Star Indian cricketer Virat Kohli wrote on X: “I warmly welcome Pakistan Cricket Team on their arrival in my country after a long time period of 7 years.”

He added that he would host a party “for my friends, especially for (all-rounder) Shadab (Khan) at my house.” He added: “Love you all, always spread love and joy.”

It’s heartwarming to see the warm welcome the Pakistan cricket team received from fans in India after their arrival in Hyderabad. This visit marks an important moment for cricketing relations between the two countries, especially since the team’s last visit to India was seven years ago.

The security measures in place were understandably strict, given the significance of this event and the history of cricketing rivalries between Pakistan and India. The heavy security presence ensured the safety of the players and the fans.

Players expressed their delight on social media, with prominent members such as captain Babar Azam, star bowler Shaheen Afridi, and wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan thanking Indian authorities and fans for their warmth and hospitality.

India’s final World Cup squad announcement is also eagerly anticipated, with Rohit Sharma reportedly undecided between Axar and Ashwin. Mohammad Rizwan, in a social media post, expressed his enthusiasm, saying, “Amazing reception from the people here. Everything was super smooth.
