Banter of Indian and Pakistani cricket fans on social media platforms is not new. Fans from both the countries are ready to pounce on the smallest of things. ICC’s official Twitter handle posted pictures of scenic looking Gwadar Stadium of Balochistan on Monday. To which, the Indian fans on Twitter started replying on the post with the pictures of the beautiful stadium in Dharamshala. Some people also mentioned KCA Stadium of Perinthalmanna, Kerala. Take a look at what exactly happened.
ICC Tweeted images of the Gwadar Stadium and wrote: “Show us a more picturesque sports venue than the Gwadar cricket stadium in Balochistan.
We'll wait...”

After this tweet by ICC, some Indian fans took it upon themselves to remind ICC of the various beautiful stadiums in India. Himachal Pradesh’s Dharamshala Stadium was the pick of the list for many fans. Fans from both the countries then got engaged in a banter on the Twitter comments. Some funny ones, some serious ones and some really in good taste.

The Pakistani's were not behind either, in the photos-game.

Not all the comments were about the banter between Pakistani and Indians, but some were reflecting the brotherhood which we rarely get to see.

In the recent past, Twitteratis of both the countries were at loggerheads with each other because of one another post by ICC. During the Test series between South Africa and Pakistan, ICC posted a funny meme of Pakistani batsman Hassan Ali. Pakistani fans were furious at this meme and even went to the extent of calling ICC ‘very unprofessional’. Also some Pak fans tweeted ‘Indian Cricket Council’ taking a jibe at Indian fans. Indians on the other hand, were having fun looking at this post.

Regardless any match, the Indian and Pakistani fans don’t leave a single chance to be nasty to each other. And the above post is a certificate of that. What do you think? Which is your favorite stadium?
