Shot across India, Pakistan, the UAE, Australia, and the UK, this series explores the legendary cricketing rivalry between India and Pakistan. But it goes beyond the matches, delving into the shared history, politics, and deep-rooted passion for the sport that unites and divides these two nations.
At the heart of the story is the unforgettable Friendship Tour of 2004 – India’s first bilateral series in Pakistan in 15 years, following the tensions of the Kargil War in 1999. Security concerns and fears over fan clashes loomed large, but what unfolded was an extraordinary celebration of cricket and camaraderie. Against the backdrop of packed stadiums and roaring crowds, the tour became a symbol of hope, proving that sport could bridge divides. On the field, it was a battle of heavyweights—India’s star-studded batting lineup of Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar, and Rahul Dravid faced off against Pakistan’s formidable forces, led by captain Inzamam-ul-Haq, the fiery Shoaib Akhtar, and the elegant Yousuf Youhana.
The series struck a chord far beyond cricket. It debuted at No.1 on Netflix in the region – an exceptional feat for a sports documentary – underscoring the unparalleled passion that makes this rivalry one of the most captivating in the world.
