In the last Mauka Mauka promo, he was seen sporting an Indian jersey - only because India won their tie against Ireland increasing the possibility of Pakistan making to the quarterfinals alive. However, Pakistan has already bagged a spot into the quarterfinals following their win over South Africa.
Star Sports had said on social media, after the video with their next addition of the advertisement, that “Jeet India Ki, Par Mauka Pakistan Ka! ?#?MaukaMauka ?#?INDvIRE”, which means that it is a win for India, but a chance for Pakistan.
The Mauka Mauka campaign started when the first ad was launched that showed India defeating Pakistan in the World Cup five times in a row since 1992.
The first advertisement, which went viral on social media, showed the Pakistani fan watching India vs Pakistan matches in 1992, 1996, 1999, 2003 and 2011, and bringing out fireworks every time the crunch tie is on, but doesn't get to light them, the report added.
