A World Cup ad featuring Indian Air Force Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman lookalike hasn’t gone too well in India, while in India there have been ads about how India has been dominating Pakistan in the World Cups.

Star Sports brought back the famous Mauka Mauka advertisement, which has been the popular slogan for previous India vs Pakistan world cup clashes.

ICC should take note of it – Ehsan Mani

Speaking of the same, the chairman of Pakistan Cricket Board Ehsan Mani asked Star Sports to be the broadcaster of International Cricket Council but not like the broadcaster of India. He wants them to be fair enough for all the teams in the ICC World Cup 2019.

 

 “I think this is for the ICC to take note. Star is the host broadcaster. They are not an Indian broadcaster, they are the broadcaster of the ICC. They should be fair to all teams. That (the teasers) is not part of cricket,” Ehsan Mani told to The Indian Express.

So far, the arch-rivals, India and Pakistan have faced each other six times in the World Cup and each time, Men in Blue came out on top. This will be their 7th meeting in ICC Cricket World Cup. It is scheduled to be played on June 16th at Manchester.
