It was after one of the fiercest rivalries in cricket got over, the captain of the two teams, India and Pakistan were seen shaking hands and exchanging words which have moved the world a lot. There is a lot of passion, aggression, and emotions involved in the game between India and Pakistan considering the cagy past the two teams share, both historically and geographically. This has been the story for a long time, but in recent times the rivalry has intensified even more because both teams only get to faceoff at ICC events. But these players showed that beyond the results, every player celebrates \u201cThe Spirit of Cricket\u201d more than anything.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Really loved the scenes at the end between Virat and Rizwan and Babar and thereafter between some of the younger Pakistan players and Dhoni.
