Throwback to all IND vs PAK cricket clashes in 2025

The year 2025 witnessed a few exciting India vs Pakistan clashes in cricket.

India and Pakistan (IND vs PAK) are among the oldest teams in international cricket. The Asian giants are well known for their rivalry in the game of cricket, which began in 1952 with the first test match between these two sides at Feroz Shah Kotla in Delhi. Due to political conflicts between the two nations, they currently do not engage in bilateral series.

Although India and Pakistan do not play bilateral cricket, they square off in multi-nation events conducted by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and Asian Cricket Council (ACC). In 2025, the men’s, women’s, and U19 teams from both nations competed against each other.

All these games were nail-biting ones, enjoying a massive viewership from cricket fans of both countries. Some of these games were also marred by controversies, with a few players engaging in verbal banters on the field. On that note, below are all the IND vs PAK rivalries that took place in 2025.
