In the ninth episode of The Greatest Rivalry, Nikesh Rughani and Aatif Nawaz look at the period from 2012 onwards, where India and Pakistan hardly played against each other. There was a short limited overs series in India in 2012/13, and after that, they only encountered each other in major tournaments. There were Asia Cups, World Cups – which India dominated in, and of course the ICC Champions Trophy Final in 2017 – one of Pakistan cricket's finest ever moments.
