Sun is shining brightly at the Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester as India has gotten off to a flying start against arch-rivals Pakistan in what is being considered as the mini-title game of the World Cup in England.
Thousands have flocked to the stadium to catch glimpse of the most-anticipated match of the tournament and going by the looks of it, the atmosphere in a packed-house is nothing short of electric. And if numbers interest you, more than 1 billion people from every corner of the world have tuned into the match.
It's India Vs Pakistan cricket match, after all.
So it shouldn't come as a surprise that passionate fans from both the sides of the border have stepped up their game to lend support to their nation.
But a certain Pakistani fan managed to turn heads at the match venue when he arrived on a horseback at the Old Trafford stadium where the India-Pakistan match is underway.
