Mumbai: India and Pakistan matches are always sparked up with the factor of rivalry. But former England skipper Nasser Hussain managed to bridge the gap between the fans of both nations.
Hussain asked a witty question to Pakistan fans through his Twitter account.
With India set to face off against the hosts England on Sunday, the 51-year-old tweet asked Pakistan fans who would they be supporting when the two teams clash against each other.
“Question to all Pakistan fans..EnglandvsINDIA..Sunday .. who you supporting?” Hussain asked.

Despite suffering three defeats in first five matches, Pakistan have managed to stay in the race for semi-finals after winning against South Africa and New Zealand.
On the other hand, England had won four out of their first five games, but consecutive defeats has added pressure on the home side.
England will be hoping to register a win against India to increase their chances to a book semi-final berth.
