This is a perfect example of an epic and harmless banter between entertainers from the two countries amidst the hostile environment and cross border tensions.
In the battle, Pir highlighted Pakistan’s 2017 Champions Trophy win and other important feats men in green achieved in cricket.
At the end of the video, the singer emphasized that it’s just a sport so people should have fun despite which team wins on Sunday. He also said that he enjoyed collaborating with entertainers from across the border.
The rap battle has received a positive response and people have lauded the effort.
RJ Dino Ali thinks it’s ‘epic’.
