As India gear up to take on arch rivals Pakistan in their first match at the ongoing T20 World Cup in UAE, former cricketer Mohammad Kaif shared some words of advice with the fans from both the nations.
Kaif, who has represented India in 13 Tests and over 100 ODIs, urged the fans to treat the high octane clash as sports and not war. The ex-India cricketer shared his views on Twitter.

{{/usCountry}}This is also the first time Kohli and Babar are going head to head as a captain.
Kohli, who is leading the side in his final T20 assignment, will look to maintain India's perfect record against Pakistan in the World Cups. Babar, on the other hand, can achieve yet another landmark feat but this time as a captain by beating India in the showpiece event.
India currently have a 7-0 record against Pakistan in 50-over World Cups, and have maintained a similar tempo in the shorter format. The Men In Blue have a 5-0 record in the T20 World Cups.
