Khel hi nahi, dil bhi jeetiye: Vajpayee to team for 2004 Pak tour
Before India's Pakistan tour in 2004, the then-Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee presented a signed bat to the cricket team which read, "Khel hi nahi, dil bhi jeetiye." (Win not only matches, but hearts too). It was India's first full tour of Pakistan in over 15 years. Around 20,000 visas were granted to Indian fans for the one-month long tour.
