One of the funniest and most entertaining advertisements in India, “Mauka Mauka” became viral before the start of the 2015 World Cup. In the commercial, we can see a Pakistani fan ready with fire crackers before every Indo-Pak World Cup encounter since 1992, but is unable to burn them as Pakistan loses each and every World Cup match against India.
The guy is seen getting frustrated after Pakistan loses the semi-final against India in the 2011 World Cup and says, “Kab Phodenge Yaar?” (when will we get a chance to burn the crackers?).

If India wouldn’t have won the T20 World Cup in 2007, we could have been deprived of one of the most amazing and entertaining sporting ads of all time.
So even though Sreesanth is a blacklisted player now, we shouldn’t forget the fact that the history of India cricket would have been very different if he had missed the catch.

About the author
Arya Sekhar Chakraborty
Arya is a cricket journalist with around 8 years of experience who writes informative listicles and is in charge of text commentary at Sportskeeda. He is a graduate in Journalism, Psychology, and English, and has previously worked for websites such as CricTracker, SportzWiki, Cricket Addictor, Cricfit, OneCricket, and Cricket Exchange. His vast experience has led him to know the pulse of his readers and he cross-checks information from a number of credible sources before writing a single word for their sake.
A former Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) U14 and U16 player, Arya's tryst with cricket began after watching Sachin Tendulkar in action during his childhood. He is an ardent fan of Mumbai Indians (MI) owing to Tendulkar's initial involvement and also bleeds blue for his national team. He is an admirer of Test cricket as he feels the red-ball format teaches one about every facet of life.
Arya, who feels ODIs should not be completely replaced with T20Is owing to the former's pacing and charm, would like to go back in time to 1998 and watch the Master Blaster in action. He has experience in interviewing a few Bengali cricketers such as Kazi Junaid Saifi, Shib Shankar Pal, Sayan Ghosh and Prayas Ray Barman. He has also translated a couple of Bengali cricket books, and made Indian Premier League (IPL) pre-match videos.
He likes to spend time with his family and binge on web series during his spare time.
