First and the foremost thing that an athlete should learn before playing the sport is sportsmanship. No matter if the opponent player or the team is the biggest rivalry, the sportsman spirit should be maintained. And this is applicable to cricket too. The history of international cricket has witnessed some biggest clashes between the player and the team ever, but at the same time, it has also seen some great sportsman spirits shown by the players and the teams. No matter how big the rivalry is, the sportsmanship should always be maintained. Sportsmanship is the positive and respectful gesture shown to the opponents. It also includes following the ethics of sports.
India and Pakistan are the biggest rivalry teams ever in world cricket. They have been also seen in many heated arguments and controversies too. It has always been a big day for all the Indian and Pakistani cricket fans whenever it was a match day for the teams against each other. But the players always followed their sportsman spirit on the field.
