The Asia Cup 2018 gets underway tomorrow in the UAE but the talk has forever been about the India vs Pakistan match. The two arch-rivals are expected to produce the best match of the tournament and will grab eyeballs from around the world. They are in the UAE already and practising for their respective first match against Hong Kong. During the training session, two veterans Shaoib Malik  and MS Dhoni met and talked to each other for a while.

It was Malik who after finishing his training spotted the Indian great and walked up to him. India’s skipper for the tournament Rohit Sharma also greeted the Pakistan all-rounder as he walked past him. Dhoni was sitting there probably relaxing after a good run on the field. They talked with a lot of comfort like two people who’ve known each other for a while and share a great rapport.

The two have faced off against each other on several occasions on the field and are the senior most members of their respective teams.

Malik had earlier said that India aand Pakistan need to play more matches which will not just benefit the teams but also give the fans around the world a real treat.

“It is in the benefit of all if both India and Pakistan play a maximum number of matches against each other as it brings entertainment not only for the people of the two countries but also for the rest of the world. It also brings the people of India and Pakistan closer to each other,” Dawn.com quoted Malik, as saying.

He’d also expressed that the players play with a lot of passion and intensity on the field where they are very competitive, have a singular aim of winning the match for their team. When off the field they are all friends and share warm relations.
