If one is planning to follow cricket for the first time, there cannot be a better game to start from than India vs Pakistan. That is exactly what happened to NBA legend John Starks. Starks was present at the Nassau County Stadium in New York on Sunday. He witnessed India’s win over Pakistan at the T20 World Cup 2024. Starks was introduced to some Indian cricket stars including Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah by former India player Yuvraj Singh before the match.
