As the promising young Indian team prepares to fight New Zealand in the high-voltage semi-final clash of the World Cup 2019 on Tuesday, a new Mauka Mauka advertisement has been released and gone viral mocking the Kiwi supporters.
Mauka Mauka is the ad campaign that mocks Pakistan every time they face India. However, this time, after Pakistan were chased out of the tournament, the campaign expanded its paradigm to the matches with other countries, like that against England on 30th June and now against New Zealand today.
