“Cricket and films can bring people together,” is the most clichéd statement that we have heard for donkey’s years now! But when it comes to high voltage matches like India vs Pakistan, these adages rarely get translated into actions as fans from both sides want their county to win the match.  The Asia Cup 2018, also offers a mouth-watering clash between India and Pakistan which is scheduled to happen tomorrow at the Dubai International Stadium.  Fans from India and Pakistan are waiting for the old rivals to lock horns tomorrow and one would expect a bit of a rivalry between the fans too. But, not in case of Bashir Chacha a Pakistani fan, who helped India’s Sudhir Gautam. Here’s how! Asia Cup 2018 Full schedule. 

So a few days ago, Sudhir got a call from his friend Bashir and the latter informed him about his plans for UAE. Sudhir, who was struggling with finances revealed that he couldn’t make it to the flagship event of Asia. This is where Bashir Chaha came to his rescue and arranged for Sudhir’s food, tickets and accommodation. Bashir spoke about the gesture to Xtra Time from UAE and said, “its pure love. You know the money will come and go with Allah’s grace. I told Sudhir you just come here and I will take care of everything. I am not a rich person but my heart is as big as an ocean. If I help you, Allah will be happy.” Shoaib Malik says, 'India vs Pakistan is just a match. 

Sudhir on the other hand, could not thank Bashir enough for the noble gesture. He said, “I handled the visa, chacha handled the tickets just for me to cheer for Team India. Chachaji also took care of everything, including the hotel and my food.” The two will watch the clash together. So all is well that ends well.
