An India versus Pakistan match is that giant of the gentleman's game that casts its shadow over every other rivalry in the world. There is no match more intense, or a rivalry that comes with more hype. And no one said it was pretty.
Happily for cricket fans on Twitter, the India-Pakistan match this World Cup fell on a Sunday. From ball-by-ball tweets to funny memes to match predictions; today Twitter has sports pundits in every nook and corner. With #IndvsPak, #WeWontGiveItBack, #Raina74,#Kohli107 trending worldwide, other matches have been pushed to the background. Sorry #SouthAfricavsZimbawe.
Here are some of the funniest tweets we came across, presented in no particular order:

10. And then there was this. Nothing defines India's love for cricket better than this. Look beyond the TV screen and you'll find a wedding in the background. The bride is NOT going to be happy about this.

Do remember that these memes were put out in the spirit of fun. Keep calm and cheer Team India on in the World Cup, everybody.
