NEW DELHI: India and Pakistan cricket fans often find themselves at odds while passionately supporting their respective teams. However, both sets of fans have been seen coming together, but for a different cause.

During the World Championship of Legends match between Yuvraj Singh-led India Champions and Younis Khan-led Pakistan Champions at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham on Saturday, both India and Pakistan fans were seen cheering for England football team during its Euro 2024 quarter-final against Switzerland.

They were spotted watching England’s Euro 2024 match on television screens at Edgbaston on Saturday, as captured in a video that has been widely shared on social media platforms.


The footage shows the two groups of supporters jointly cheering for Gareth Southgate’s team and rejoicing in the Three Lions’ victory in the exciting quarter-final match.

England and Switzerland found themselves in a stalemate, with the scoreboard reading 1-1 as the referee blew the whistle to conclude the regulation 90 minutes in their Euro 2024 quarter-final clash held in Dusseldorf, Germany.
