5 Things that have changed drastically in international cricket since the 1990s

#3 The magnitude of Indo-Pak encounters

There was a time when Indo-Pak encounters would make people stay at home. People used to call in sick at offices to enjoy the pulsating clash between the two arch-rivals. Pakistan had a world class side at that time. Legends like Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Saeed Anwar ensured that Pakistan had an edge over the Indians.

The Sahara Cup between the two nations held annually in Canada was a highly sought after the tournament for the cricket lovers. However, the Indo-Pak clashes have now lost their charm. India has overtaken Pakistan in international cricket and has improved its track record against the arch-rivals immensely. Indo-Pak encounters are one-sided affairs these days with India finishing on top more often than not.
