Salman Khan's team won the celebrity Indo-Pak cricket match held in Dubai on Thursday. The 15-over match was part of Khan's initiative to raise awareness about his Being Human Foundation in the desert emirate.
Pakistani cricketers at the match included Shoaib Akhtar and Shoaib Malik, and singer Atif Aslam. The Pak team scored 120 and Khan's team reached the target with one ball to spare.
Khan's team included actors Mahesh Manjrekar, Riteish Deshmukh, Sanjay Kapoor, Vatsal Seth and Aashish Chaudhary.
Earlier, at a media meet, Khan said: "It's important to get India and Pakistan to play together. We might get hammered when we get back to Mumbai (for participating in an event with Pakistan).
But we want to show that we are together. People don't see eye-to-eye even in families. But that doesn't mean you start following 'an eye for an eye' policy."
