The India-Pakistan series was finally given the go-ahead after a Madras court decided it just was not cricket to allow a TV rights dispute to sabotage the tour.
Thanks to interim orders from the High Court the tour, which has become a symbol of reconciliation between the two countries, will be shown on live TV, a requirement for official cricket.
Millions will be glued to the screen to watch the titanic clash.
Three tantalising Tests and six mouthwatering limited-over matches are due to start on 8 March.
State-owned TV channel Doordarshan will carry coverage domestically, with the Indian board choosing a producer.
The landmark tour, Pakistan's first of India in six years, has already survived a dispute which centred on their refusal to play the second Test in Ahmedabad.
However, the media rights dispute was a bigger threat to tthe survival of the tour.
The problems started when the Board of Control for Cricket in India backed out of a four-year, $308 million (£161 million) deal with Zee after it was challenged in court by rival ESPN-Star Sports.
Cricket fans everywhere will be delighted to see sport once again triumph over adversity.
The game has already proven to be an inspiration in showing the people of India and Pakistan that it is much more beneficial to be competitive neighbours than outright enemies.
