Fans not impressed with the new "Mauka Mauka" advert by Star Sports.

India’s next game in this year's ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 will be the very dominant New Zealand side, but everyone is more excited for next Sunday when the 'Men In Blue' will take on one one of their biggest rivals in world cricket, Pakistan.

Emotions and sentiments during an India-Pakistan match always run very high, but this time, the stakes will be even higher because of the diplomatic tensions between the two neighbouring countries.

To buildup the hype train before the match day, the official broadcaster, Star Sports skipped their promotion for India’s match against the Kiwis. Instead, they jumped straight to Pakistan vs India clash. They also brought back the ‘Mauka Mauka’ advertisement that had gone viral during the time of the 2015 World Cup. But this time they have given it a Father’s Day twist for June 16, when Father’s Day is celebrated all across the World. 

As everyone expected, the advert mocks Pakistan's bleak record against team India in the ICC events down the years, with Pakistan having zero wins against the Men in Blue in World Cups so far. 

In the video, actor Vikas Malhotra (playing the Pakistani son), remembers his father's wise words on how one must keep trying and should never give up. The Indian fan in the advert uses this opportunity to take the 'BAAP' dig over the Pakistani fan.
