The cricket match was apparently played on April 2, the same day Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Chenani-Nashri tunnel, the country&rsquo;s longest on the Jammu-Srinagar national highway.&nbsp;

The match was apparently played in Ganderbal.&nbsp;

The Hindustan Times reported sources as saying that of the two teams that played the match, one represented India -- it wore white -- and the other Pakistan.&nbsp;

&ldquo;National anthems of both countries were played, like in any international match,&rdquo; a Ganderbal resident told the HT.&nbsp;
