Fans say grow up Star Sports as Mauka Mauka ad is back with Father’s Day twist for India Pakistan match

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. 

This #FathersDay, watch an ICC #CWC19 match jo dekh ke bas bol sakte hain, “baap re baap!”

The Mauka Mauka advertisement went viral and gained huge popularity last time during the world cup. But this time around, the fans across the border had not found it funny at all. Some India fans too have been unimpressed with the ad and found it to be in bad taste and childish. 

Mauka mauka was ok but this is too much cricket is a gentleman's game pls let it be

Sorry but this ad is in bad taste. Take sport as a sport only... Why stooping to such low level of thinking!!

Literally speaking this add is too low class. Not expected this from star sports. One need to understand its just a sport and anything can hapoen on a given day. #dissapointed.

Please we dont need promos like these.
Stop making promos on the Father Son thing, its gotten old and it is disrespectful.

This father - son thing has already backfired us in CT 2017
Banters are supposed to be better, that mauka mauka ad was a banter. Not this one
