As the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 draws nearer, the cricketing world is abuzz with excitement and anticipation. Fans are eagerly awaiting the electrifying showdown between arch-rivals India and Pakistan on October 14 in Ahmedabad. Adding to the fervour, Star Sports has brought back the iconic ‘Mauka-Mauka’ campaign, featuring popular actress Shehnaaz Gill and India’s star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja in an enthralling promo. The campaign encapsulates the spirit of India’s ‘Wait for Eight,’ as they aim to uphold their unblemished record against Pakistan in the ODI World Cup.
The unforgettable rivalry and a history of dominance
The rivalry between India and Pakistan in cricket is unlike any other. It’s a battle that transcends boundaries, politics, and history. India and Pakistan have crossed paths seven times in ODI World Cup history, and India has emerged victorious on each occasion. Meanwhile, Pakistan has yet to taste victory against their arch-rivals in this tournament. The ‘Mauka-Mauka’ promo wisely capitalizes on this one-sided history, creating a captivating narrative around it.
The ‘Mauka-Mauka’ promo
In the teaser, fans of both India and Pakistan are depicted as ghosts, symbolizing the haunting history of India’s consistent victories. While the Pakistani fan continues to yearn for that elusive win, the Indian fan exudes confidence in maintaining the streak. Alongside them, Shehnaaz and comedian Aakash Gupta also take on ghostly forms, adding a touch of hum♐our to the intense rivalry.
