Question

In the sports world, the sobriquet 'Indo-Pak Express' is applied to

• A. Shree Santh and Shoaib Akhtar
• B. Rohan Bopanna and Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi
• C. Sania Mirza and Shahar Peer
• D. Rohan Bopanna and Shahar Peer

Hint:

Look for the tennis doubles pair, one Indian and one Pakistani, famous for playing together despite the two countries' rivalry.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

This question is about a well known tennis doubles nickname built around the idea of an Indian and a Pakistani player teaming up.

1. Shree Santh and Shoaib Akhtar: Both are cricketers, Sreesanth from India and Shoaib Akhtar from Pakistan, but they never played as a paired team carrying this nickname.
2. Rohan Bopanna and Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi: Correct. This Indian and Pakistani tennis duo played doubles together and earned the nickname Indo-Pak Express, symbolizing cooperation between the two nations.
3. Sania Mirza and Shahar Peer: Sania Mirza is Indian, but Shahar Peer is from Israel, not Pakistan, so this pairing cannot carry an Indo-Pak label.
4. Rohan Bopanna and Shahar Peer: Bopanna is Indian, but again Shahar Peer's nationality is Israeli, so this option fails the same nationality check.

Only the Bopanna-Qureshi doubles pair actually matches an Indian teamed with a Pakistani, which is exactly what the Indo-Pak Express label describes, so option (B) is correct.

Let's summarize:

• The Indo-Pak Express nickname belongs to tennis, not cricket.
• Rohan Bopanna (India) and Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi (Pakistan) are the actual pair behind the name.

So Bopanna and Qureshi are the correct answer.
