‘Millions of people in Pakistan are fans of Virat and Rohit. We wanted to see them playing here. The Indian team will not get as much love here. Cricket should be kept free from politics. We want to play cricket with India

Salman Haider, found at the famous Liberty Chowk in Lahore, is disappointed. After 29 years, an ICC tournament is taking place in Pakistan. He hoped that Team India would also come to play the match, but it did not happen. India will play all its matches in Dubai. There is a competition with Pakistan on 23 February.
Like Salman, Mansoor Bukhari’s face is also angry. Mansoor, a journalist by profession, says, ‘Virat Kohli is very fan in Pakistan. Kohli’s career will remain incomplete without playing here.
Dainik Bhaskar has reached Pakistan for the coverage of the Champions Trophy. Bhaskar Journalist Bikram Pratap Singh is in Lahore. They will cover updates and special stories related to the Champions Trophy for the next 20 days. When Bikram Pratap Singh reached Lahore, what he saw, Read this report…
The Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore has a match between Australia and England on 22 February. Both teams have reached Lahore for this.
Talk of Champions Trophy everywhere in Lahore I reached Lahore via the Attari-Wagah border. On reaching here, it seems that a big cricket tournament is happening. People are talking about cricket on the streets. There is resentment for two reasons. The first was that in the initial match, his team lost to New Zealand. If Pakistan also loses the second match, it would be almost out of the semi -final race.
Second resentment is because India did not send the team to Pakistan for the tournament. India’s matches will be held in Dubai. If the team reached the final, then that match will also be in Dubai.
I spoke to people of different sections to know what the Pakistani are saying when Team India did not come.
‘The communities do not progress by creating enemies, India should have sent teams’ Mian Abujar Shad is the President of the Lahore Chamber of Commerce. I asked him the question of Team India not coming to Pakistan. Due to the tussle in the relationship, not only cricket, but also business is stalled between the two countries. Mian Abujar Shad responded to Shayari. Speak-
There will be such distance, I had never thought. Passing me, he was not mine.
Obviously, despite being a neighbor, he was saying about the distance between India and Pakistan. Mian sir is sad from this distance. This sorrow appears in his voice and talk. He says, ‘The pigeon blown from Amritsar goes away from Lahore and goes away from Lahore. Similarly, the pigeon of Lahore returns from Amritsar after eating grain.
‘Hindu-Muslim lived together 700 years. Where are the partitions not. Even today, the signs of our elders are there, the signs of your elders are here. We cannot change all of us. There may be enmity. The thing is that enmity should not increase.
They explain the problems caused by poor relationships with an example. It is said, ‘Tomato grown in Amritsar first goes to Mumbai. From there goes to Dubai. Then comes Karachi and then Lahore. Tomato stems 40 km away, traveling 4 thousand km and reaches us.
While advocating good relationships, Mian Abujar Shad says, “We should live together. The world has seen a lot of hatred. The decisions of war are also on the table. India has such a big economy. His small economy is not made to fight. Making each other enemies do not progress. ‘
Mian Abujar Shad further says, ‘If someone thinks that something will deteriorate if a team does not get something spoiled, then it is not so. I request my India and Modi ji to increase the relationship of love. Increase friendship. Your team came to play Lahore. Our team played in India, so that we do not give this gift to new breeds.
‘Pakistani also fans of Indian cricketers, teams would have been nice’ After this I reached the famous Liberty Chowk in Lahore. Asked the same question to the people who came to shop here. Should Team India have come to Pakistan? The answer was- had to come at all.
Mohammad Ali, who works in Nizam Bank, says, ‘Things have improved in Pakistan. Every team is getting good security. We were assuming that the Indian team would come. We liked if the team came. We are fans of Indian cricketers. Both teams face thorns. If Pakistan and India play, then the road gets jammed.
‘Pakistanis are open hearted people. The Indian team has no issue. Pakistan and India are the same. The borders are for demarcation.
‘Virat did not play a match in Pakistan, do not retire without it’ We asked Lahore’s journalist Mansoor Bukhari, are you disappointed with the absence of the Indian team? He directly says, ‘Disappointment is in every house in Pakistan. People regret that India’s team did not come. They should have come. People want to see your players. At the moment they are disappointed.
‘I want to say the rest, Virat Kohli is very fans in Pakistan. Kohli has not played an international match in Pakistan. His career will remain incomplete without playing in Pakistan.
From Liberty Chowk, I went to Anarkali Market, about 200 years old. Tried to talk to many women here. She did not want to come on camera. However, his complaint was also that India did not do well by not sending the team.
‘Team India strong on paper, but Pakistan specializes in surprise’ Pakistan is the defending champion of the Champions Trophy. In the final of the tournament held in 2017, he won the title by defeating India. However, this time it started with defeat. If India defeated Pakistan, it would be very difficult for it to reach the semi -finals.
My next question from people was this- Who can win in the match to be held on February 23? Lahore Press Club Secretary Zahid Abid says, ‘India’s team is much better if you look on paper. Nevertheless, the Pakistani team always has the ability to surprise. So it will not be surprising if Pakistan wins.
At the same time, Khabar Baig says, ‘defeat and victory are part of the match. Whenever there is a match in India-Pakistan, there is a lot of stress on both sides. India win or Pakistan, it is certain that the audience will get a good match.
