India vs Pakistan: cricket's toxic but essential rivalry
Original: India vs Pakistan is the toxic rivalry cricket cannot do without

Matches between the two nations draw enormous global audiences and generate unmatched tension, even as political hostilities between the governments keep bilateral series frozen. Commentators are weighing whether the spectacle justifies the animosity that surrounds it.
Why now: The two teams' matches reliably dominate global cricket discussion whenever they are played or debated.
