Netflix just announced the release date of its cricket documentary The Greatest Rivalry: India vs Pakistan and fans can’t wait.

The sports documentary will release on February 7 on the streaming platform.

The poster for the documentary features Indian stars Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag with their backs to the camera, heading towards the pitch where the Pakistan team celebrates.

There are no names visible for the Pakistani players, but you can spot numbers — 96, 13 and some numbers in the 50s.

Last February, Netflix released a short teaser for the documentary, featuring some fiery rivalry but told us nothing more.

The Netflix website currently features a short promo for the documentary, including interviews with Waqar Younis, Sehwag and Sourav Ganguly talking about spin bowling.

The comment section of the Instagram announcement was heated, with fans cheering on their own teams and talking about what they hoped the documentary would hold. Despite commonly expressed fears, it seems that this is simply a documentary on the sport and the two teams, not a fictionalised version of events à la patriotic Indian filmmakers.

This is exactly how third-party marketers harness, evolve, apply and execute their marketing skills and marketing mix to make tons of money.

Most Pakistanis (and probably many Indians) won't watch it because they have boycotted netflix due to the ME war in progress....

Netflix is about 10-15 years late on this. As an Indian cricket fan, I’m much more interested in India’s rivalry with Australia, England, New Zealand & South Africa than I am with our rivalry with Pakistan. And I’m sure most Indian cricket fans feel that way too.
