Less than a month remain for the iconic India vs Pakistan clash in the ICC T20 World Cup. As the Greatest Rivalry in sports history is set to take place, the iconic ‘Mauka Mauka’ ad is also back. Star Sports have yet again revived the iconic characters for the ad as both the teams will lock horns desperately keen to secure the ICC Trophy.
Ahead of the mega blockbuster match, the official broadcasters of the game, Star Sports Network has released an iconic promo to signify the importance of the encounter. The Mauka Mauka advertisement has entertained masses over the years signifying the how India has beaten their arch rivals in the tournament.
Till date, India has emerged victorious on 6 occasions, while Pakistan have won it only once, back in 2021. And in 2024, the excitement for the clash is paramount. The two sides are slated to lock horns on 9th June at Nassau County Stadium in New York. This is the first edition of T20 World Cup, where has many as 20 teams are taking part in it.
Greatest event in Sports History?
While some might beg to differ, but for Indian and Pakistani fans, this is the game that matters the most. With the rivalry for both the nations being unparallel, so is the banter between the teams. And the Mauka Mauka ad is exactly brought out the lovely banter between both the nations.
“The thing in World Cups is that India has something special, that no matter how well Pakistan performs and play and however great our team is, in the World Cup, India always win. The previous records suggest that Pakistan has performed better in World Cups against all teams but has only won once versus India at the World Cups, which happened in Dubai,” Misbah-ul-Haq said.
“It’s such a great feeling that you would dream of, to get the World Cup trophy in our hands. Even if it was the T20 format, it was the first time, and when you get it in your hands, the feeling is something else. There are some moments in your life that define you, and there was no greater feeling than that World Cup trophy being in our hands. I thank Misbah also because if he didn’t get out, we wouldn’t win!” Harbhajan Singh added.
After a 2-1 series win against Ireland, the Pakistan Cricket Team will travel to England to play another 4 T20I matches. This is crucial for the Men in Green who continue their preparation for the tournament. On the other hand, the first batch of Indian team will fly to USA on 24th May, while the remainder will travel after 26th May.
