Mumbai: After tickling funny bones with their quirky ‘Mauka’ ads, the World Cup 2015 broadcasters Star Sports launched a new commercial ahead of India’s tie against Ireland on March 10.
And while many expected, it would target Ireland, the makers sprang a surprise and took a dig at Pakistan side.
Jeet India Ki, Par Mauka Pakistan Ka! #MaukaMauka #INDvIRE https://t.co/GOOqnrQvv6

The ‘Mauka’ makers created a solid build up for the new ad, showing ‘Mauka’ man roaming around the streets of Mumbai, asking directions to strangers, crossing maidans before ending up in a restaurant with a box of firecrackers.
Yeah Kaisa Mauka? #MaukaMauka #INDvWI https://t.co/xhNvJBBmEh
— STAR Sports (@StarSportsIndia) March 6, 2015Before the latest 'Mauka' ad, the West Indian team was asked to focus on playing with colours on a Holi-day World Cup tie, instead of thinking about bursting firecrackers.
Right ahead of India vs Pakistan World Cup tie in Adelaide, the makers came up with this ad, joking about Pakistan's poor record against arch-rivals India in World Cup.
Pakistan fans hit back with their set of ads too. However, that failed to do much as India handed one more defeat to Misbah-ul-Haq-led side.
