Pakistan’s historic win against India in the World Cup
The excitement is palpable among fans of both nations, who are eager to see India's captain Rohit Sharma and Pakistan's captain Babar Azam lead their teams. However, there is uncertainty about Sharma’s participation due to an arm injury he sustained in a match against Ireland.
