If you’re a Pakistani born after 1990, then a regular walloping by India, punctuated by a face-saving Pakistani win every five years or so, is the only form of India-Pakistan cricket rivalry that you know. Only oldies recall when it wasn’t this lopsided, and in fact Pakistan was the dominant team. #PAKvIND #INDvPak
