Check out: ‘Mauka’ turnaround - a joke on Team India?
Teaser of new ad indicates changed loyalties
Mumbai: After running riot with the crisp, cheesy and if not rubbing salt-to-wound advertisements, the World Cup 2015 broadcasters Star Sports seem to be ready to launch a new Mauka ad.
However, if these pictures are anything to go by, the new commercial may be a big turnaround for the opposition fan who was left red-faced after India’s hat-trick of wins.

— STAR Sports (@StarSportsIndia) March 5, 2015The ‘Mauka’ makers launched their campaign, taking a dig at Pakistan fans, highlighting how they had never beaten India in the World Cups.
Before anyone could accuse them for being biased, they also joked about India’s poor record against South Africa in the mega event before the home team turned tables against the Proteas.
The next ad was a combined attack on Pakistan and South African fans who were shown hoping about the UAE win.
Then it was West Indies’ turn to face some music as the ad asked West Indies fans to forget about firecrackers, a key component of every mauka ad and focus on enjoying colours on the Holi day game against India.
