While the Indian ad brought back the ‘Mauka-Mauka’ theme with a twist of Father’s Day, Pakistan took it a step further and aired a promotional advertisement wherein a character mimicking Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman has been shown.
In a 33-second video released by Pakistan's Jazz TV, the character impersonating Abhinandan can be seen sporting the Indian Air Force pilot's signature moustache. However, instead of a military dress, the character is shown wearing a replica jersey of Team India.
The look-a-like repeats Abhinandan's viral statement “I'm sorry, I am not supposed to tell you this” several times in the advertisement as he is asked questions related to India's playing XI and the team's strategy if it wins the toss.
Here’s the video:
As soon as the video hit social media, Indian fans came out in numbers to troll Pakistan saying, ‘let them keep the teacup, we will bring the World Cup’.
Here are the reactions:
India would be aiming to take revenge of the 2017 Champions Trophy final loss when the two sides meet on June 16 in Manchester.
However, in World Cups, India have an excellent record against Pakistan as they have won all the six games they have played so far against the 1992 champions.
