Rivalry indulging in fights has been a common thing in cricket. There have been many incidents when the players got involved in aggressive chaos and sometimes disrespected others, maybe through sledding. But true sportsman respects each other, no matter what, even if they are the biggest rivalries.
International cricket has witnessed some respectful moments, too, between the two friendly teams and the two rivalries. We have seen many teams congratulating each other after the match. But very few have been seen respecting the knocks of the opponent players.

No matter how competitive the teams are, the sportsman spirit should always be maintained. And such instances have been noticed on international grounds a lot of time. There have been several respectful moments between the teams like Pakistan and India. Pakistani cricketers have praised many Indian players for their excellency in the field, and vice versa.
But one can never forget the most respectful moment ever in World Cup history. It was the 2019 World Cup match between West Indies and New Zealand. The two teams were competitive and resulted in a super over. West Indies needed six from seven balls. Carlos Braithwaite, the West Indies player, stroke a six toward the boundary, but Kane Williamson, the New Zealand skipper, caught it. The knock was no doubt a brilliant one. After a few moments, Williamson approached the disappointed Braithwaite and praised him for the knock.
There are more such moments in International cricket history.
