With just eight days to go for the start of the ICC Men's World Cup 2023 in India, the excitement is palpable. Among the most celebrated rivalries in white-ball cricket over the recent years has been the India vs Pakistan clash. When it comes to the ODI World Cup though, India boast of a 7-0 track record against their arch-rivals. Having said that Pakistan have played some really good cricket in the recent past and do have the potential to beat any opposition on a given day.
For those on the outside, pundits and fans alike, this is a chance to back one's favourite team and even the official broadcasters Star Sports are leaving no stones unturned in the build-up to the much-anticipated fixture set to be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
The iconic Mauka Man, a character who is eagerly waiting for Pakistan's World Cup triumph over India has returned. While the Mauka man did get a chance to see Pakistan triumph over India in the T20 World Cup, it seems he couldn't see Pakistan's win over India in an ODI World Cup clash in his lifetime.
