India vs Pakistan

'India–Pakistan cricket rivalry' is one of the most intense sports rivalries in the world. Resulting from the extensive communal violence and conflict that marked the partition of India into India and Pakistan in 1947 and the subsequent Kashmir conflict, laid the foundations for the emergence of an intense sporting rivalry between the two nations who had erstwhile shared a common cricketing heritage. Both the teams are quite strong and their never say die spirit against each other enhances the ecstasy and anticipation of the match. Be it an ODI, a 20 – 20 or a test cricket match between India and Pakistan, it is capable of turning millions of eyeballs not only from these two countries but from all over the world. Here is an attempt of visualizing head to head statistics of all the India v/s Pakistan matches played to understand the intricacies of the arch-rival relations between the two nations:

The first Test series took place in 1951-52, when Pakistan toured India. India toured Pakistan for the first time in 1954-55. Between 1962–77, no cricket was played between the two countries owing to two major wars in 1965 and 1971. The 1999 Kargil War and the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks have also interrupted cricketing ties between the two nations. Statistics show that Pakistan leads India in the number of wins in Tests (12–9) and One Day Internationals (71–50). While India leads Pakistan in T20s (4-1).Here is a year wise breakdown of matches in different formats depicted using basic bar graphs:
