A picture of former Indian captain MS Dhoni holding the son of Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed ahead of today's ICC Champions Trophy final has received heartwarming response.

Fans from both countries took to social media in a rare display of toning down what has been a fierce rivalry between the two nations.

Playing in its first ICC Champions Trophy final, Pakistan kicked off the tournament campaign with a sloppy performance against India.

However, the team has since shown strong resilience, defeating South Africa, Sri Lanka and England in the process to face off India -- the defending champions -- again.

Around half a billion people are expected watch this game and pressure is already felt, but this picture has been able to soften up the moods.
