The India vs Pakistan fixture is one of the most-awaited matchups on the cricketing calendar amongst fans of cricket. Kevin Pietersen, the English cricketing legend, ahead of the Super 4 clash between India and Pakistan in the ongoing Asia Cup 2025, posted a question on Social Media. "Is there a bigger game in any sport than India vs Pakistan in cricket?" the former England international tweeted.

And let's just say the responses to his tweet were quite mixed. While the general consensus is that it is undoubtedly one of the, if not the most anticipated cricket match, is it really the biggest game in cricket, let alone in all of sports?

One user argued that it isn't the biggest game anymore: "It's not as big a game as it used to be, Pakistan is a minnow now." While that might be true, another fan countered saying, "Yes, India Vs Pakistan Is Always awaited in the World. The Legacy of This Game is Second to None. We have High Chance of Winning but Pakistan team is Unpredictable. Fingers Crossed."

Others weren't that convinced by this argument. One pointed out that one of the biggest reasons it is still so big comes down to the political aspect attached to it. The user commented, "Only because of the political aspect otherwise Pakistan cricketing standards are lower than their GDP and Indian outclass them without any effort." One cricket fan pointed out that yes there are a few bigger games in World Cricket, and tweeted "Yes. India vs Australia, India vs England and Australia vs England."

A football fan responded with two rivalries that are almost as big, if not bigger, in the world of football: "Barcelona vs Real Madrid Brazil vs Argentina"

Another fan argued that while many Indians wouldn't agree and are calling for a boycott of this fixture, they'll still tune in. Implying that irrespective of what people from the subcontinent say, India vs Pakistan will always remain one for the ages kind of game. The tweet said, "Funny how so many (mostly Indians) keep saying It’s not a big game anymore. Yes India’s dominated for a decade, we know. Yet the same crowd that talked about boycotting cricket will still be glued to their TVs when it’s India vs Pakistan. Guess patriotism is taking a break"

This proves that while there certainly are games that might equal the level of magnitude as a India vs Pakistan fixture, nothing can ever rival the kind of emotions it brings out of cricket fans, especially across the two nations.
