India vs Australia rivalry in cricket takes center stage

If someone told you a few years ago that the India vs Pakistan cricket rivalry isn’t the biggest anymore, you’d think they were crazy. This rivalry has been mostly one-sided. Until the early 2000s, Pakistan dominated India, but in the last 25 years, the tide has turned in India’s favor. Now, it seems the rivalry is at an all-time low, and Australia has taken over as India’s biggest nemesis on the cricket field. India vs Australia rivalry.
