 Recent India vs Pakistan News (up to May 9, 2025):

India-Pakistan relations have taken a serious turn for the worse after a terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22nd, which caused many casualties. This has followed a series of escalating incidents:

India's Response: India conducted what it termed "precision strikes at terrorist camps" in Pakistani-held Kashmir on May 7th, followed by additional strikes on May 8th, against what they said were air defense systems and radars in Pakistan, including Lahore. These strikes were said to be in retaliation for the Pahalgam attack and to deter future attacks.

Pakistan's Response: Pakistan condemned India's actions vehemently and accused India of having fired drones into Pakistan's territory, killing civilians and destroying military installations. They have threatened to hit back. Pakistan has also denied any role in the Pahalgam terror attack and dismissed India's allegations as baseless propaganda.

Military Actions: Both sides reported that they were carrying out cross-border firings and shooting down each other's drones. Pakistan said it had shot down a large number of Indian drones. India said it had repelled attacks and destroyed Pakistani army posts.

Diplomatic Front: In the midst of high military tensions, diplomatic relations between the two nations are still open, with their respective National Security Advisors and High Commissions in communication. India has, however, played down this communication as not necessarily meaning active negotiations.

Cricket Implications: The increased tensions have had an effect on cricket. A recent IPL match in Dharamsala was cancelled because of power failure, but reports indicate that the rescheduling of another match from Dharamsala to Ahmedabad was on account of the existing tensions. Gautam Gambhir, India's head coach, has demanded a total ban on all contacts with Pakistan, including cricket. The Pakistan Super League (PSL) too has been shifted to the UAE because of the instability. There have been reports indicating that the BCCI may be looking to keep India and Pakistan apart in upcoming ICC events. But these have been denied by a BCCI official. India and Pakistan did, however, play each other in the ICC Champions Trophy in February 2025 in Dubai, which was won by India.   Cricket Match Result

The last ODI match between India and Pakistan was played on February 23, 2025, in the ICC Champions Trophy in Dubai. India won by 6 wickets. Virat Kohli was the man of the match.

General India-Pakistan Cricket Information:

Head-to-Head in ODIs: Pakistan has won 73 out of 136 matches played, and India has won 58, with 5 matches having no result.

ICC Tournament Supremacy: India boasts a powerful head-to-head record against Pakistan in ICC World Cups, winning 14 of their last 15 encounters.

Bilateral Series: India and Pakistan have not encountered each other in bilateral cricket series since 2013, thanks to political rivalry. They largely confront each other in ICC and continental tournaments.  

Political Backdrop:

The current escalation in tensions is a continuation of a long history of a complex relationship between India and Pakistan, characterized by cycles of conflict and efforts to achieve peace. The main issues are the Kashmir conflict and terrorism across the border. The world has called upon both countries to ease tensions and find peaceful solutions.
