The series brings together some of the most celebrated names in cricket, including Virender Sehwag, Shoaib Akhtar, Sourav Ganguly, and Sunil Gavaskar, who provide firsthand insights into the high-pressure encounters that have defined India-Pakistan cricket over the decades.

Since their last bilateral series in 2012-13, their matches have been limited to ICC tournaments and multi-nation events, further amplifying the intensity. The 2-minute-13-second promo video features legendary players sharing their thoughts on what makes this rivalry so special.

 

“An India-Pakistan match is not just a contest between bat and ball—it’s much bigger than that,” says Virender Sehwag in the trailer. Shoaib Akhtar echoes this sentiment, describing the electrifying atmosphere: “There are 1,00,000 people waiting inside, and another 1,00,000 waiting outside.”

Reflecting on past encounters, former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly humorously recalls the so-called “Friendship Tour” between the two nations. “It was a Friendship Tour only in name. But when Shoaib Akhtar is bowling at 150 kilometers per hour, where is the friendship in that?”  Sourav Ganguly remarks.

Directed by Chandradev Bhagat and Stewart Sugg, and produced by Grey Matter Entertainment, The Greatest Rivalry: India vs Pakistan promises to be a gripping watch for cricket enthusiasts worldwide. Meanwhile, fans won’t have to wait long for the next chapter in this storied rivalry, as India and Pakistan are set to clash in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 on February 23 in Dubai.
