As the two teams don't play bilateral cricket anymore, this is the first time that Pakistan have set foot on Indian soil in seven years. The last time a Pakistani side played in India was at the T20 World Cup 2016 which was hosted by India. Following Pakistan's arrival in India, "Welcome To India" starting trending on social media site X (formerly Twitter).
