The India vs Pakistan rivalry has deep roots that extend beyond the cricket field. The series will delve into the historical, political, and social contexts that have shaped the relationship between India and Pakistan since the partition in 1947. It will explore how these external factors have influenced the narrative and intensity of their cricket encounters. Viewers can look forward to engaging storytelling around some of the most memorable matches between India and Pakistan, including the 1996 World Cup quarter-final, the 2003 World Cup clash, and the high-voltage encounters in the 2011 World Cup.
Each of these matches will be dissected through interviews with players, coaches, commentators, and sports analysts who witnessed or participated in these epic battles. In addition to on-screen interviews with players, the documentary will feature insights from cricket historians, sportswriters, and strategists. Their expert commentary will provide context and analysis that enhances viewers’ understanding of the significance of this rivalry in both cricket and broader society. Such expert opinions will give the fans deep insight into not just the games but also the rivalry as a whole and why every game between the two nations is such a huge deal.
The documentary series ‘The Greatest Rivalry’ is set to be released exclusively on Netflix on 7th Feb 2025. While Netflix is already an incredibly huge platform in India, its viewership has become diluted due to various other streaming platforms like Disney+ Hotstar, Amazon Prime, and Jio Cinema purchasing the rights to multiple shows. Indians are purchasing streaming subscriptions to these different platforms due to this, but it is without a shadow of a doubt that all focus will be on Netflix for quite a while once this documentary series is released.
