It's a Sunday and there's an India vs Pakistan cricket match happening on TV... need we say more?

The big ICC Champions Trophy 2017 opener for both the countries may not be taking place in India, which does come as a dampener for millions of Indian cricket fans who would have wanted to flock to the stadium, but hey, the TV does always come as a help to us!

Though cricket is the favourite sport of the nation, the screenings of matches are organised in a very few places. In pubs and bars across metropolitan cities like Bengaluru, Delhi, Mumbai, Pune... it's always beer and football that rules the roost.

But again, an India vs Pakistan match after such a long time... that too on a Sunday, is a memorable prospect anyway. 

Top pubs and bars, therefore, across Bengaluru, have organised special screenings for the match. And yeah, this is definitely not a joint screening, unless in the rarest of the rare occasions, a Pakistani tourist is visiting India and happens to drop down in one of these places!
