In the middle of the intense rivalry between India and Pakistan, this lovely couple showed another side of cricket – the shared love for cricket between two rival sides.

A couple was spotted donning a jersey which was half Pakistan and half India. One half was green and one half was blue. According to a photographer who spotted the couple, said, the love birds are from Canada, and they came all the way from Canada to UK to support their respective national teams.

“The Husband is from Pakistan, wife from India so both stitched up India-Pak jerseys & wore them! Both are Canadians, watching the game in England, rooting for peace,” Lakshmi Kaul tweeted.
