Remember the incident that took place in 2009? Pakistan v Sri Lanka, second Test at the same venue, Lahore, Gadaffi stadium. Cricket has come a full circle in Pakistan. In a few minutes from now, Peshwa Zalmi would be locking horns with Quetta Islamabad in what promises to be a mouthwatering finale.

After 8 long years it returns to the ‘terror-ridden land’. Pakistan Super League finals has grabbed a lot of interest around the globe and hence it is befitting that the crowds get their worths. In that incident 8 years back, it had taken place a couple of days back. Hence in a many ways this match is special. Shahid Afridi would be missing out, he is a crowd favourite in this part of the globe.

However, the incident that caught our attention is the rapturous reception that the gave the players. It is literally unmissable! They went berserk there was a entire sea of Pakistani cricket fans who were also looking to invade the ground.

In the back drop, you can also see the umpires trying to get to ball one amidst such frenzy. These are unbelievable scenes just highlighting how passionate Pakistan are about their cricket.
