The oldest rivalry in cricket history and also arguably the most intense rivalry as well, the Australia vs England Test series is also famously dubbed as the ‘Ashes’. The stakes are always high whenever the series takes place and the crowds in both the countries tend to take the matches very seriously. They also help in providing an amazing atmosphere through their chants and songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The India and Pakistan rivalry has also had it’s fair share of controversial moments with players getting into very heated arguments on many occasions. The rivalry peaked during the 90s and mid 2000s when both the sides were among the strongest teams in the world. During some matches, the crowds were also quite hostile and even fights used to break out between the 2 sets of fans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the Bangladesh team’s rise in cricket, the rivalry between them and Sri Lanka has also become quite heated.

4. India vs Australia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The atmosphere has a sense of tension whenever both these sides meet especially in a series. Many matches between India and Australia have been filled with sledging and heated arguments between the players. However, the rivalry has cooled down a little in the recent years due to most of the players from both teams playing along with each other in IPL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pakistan

5. Pakistan vs Afghanistan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The rivalry between Pakistan and Afghanistan has also garnered a lot of attention in the recent times due to controversial moments taking place on the pitch. Players from both sides haven’t only had an exchange of words on numerous occasions but during a 2022 Asia Cup match, Pakistan’s Asif Ali was even about to hit Afghanistan’s Fareed Ahmed with his bat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
