About this episode
In episode two of The Greatest Rivalry with Nikesh Rughani and Aatif Nawaz, we move into the 1970’s with guests Farokh Engineer and Asif Iqbal. India and Pakistan fought two wars in 1965 and 1971, and as a result, played no cricket against each other for 17 years. That ended in 1978, with a historic series – a first win for Pakistan over their rivals. It was the era that saw legends like Imran Khan, Kapil Dev, Zaheer Abbas and Sunil Gavaskar all ply their trade.
