The much-anticipated clash between India and Pakistan in the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 is scheduled for October 14 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

To add to the excitement, Star Sports, the official broadcasters, have resurrected the 'Maukaman' from the iconic 'Mauka-Mauka' campaign, which gained immense popularity when it first aired in 2015.

The latest promotional advertisement features Indian reality star Shehnaaz Gill alongside the Indian all-rounder, Ravindra Jadeja. In the promo, Maukaman engages in a conversation with fellow characters, including Gill, discussing their hopes of witnessing Pakistan triumph over India for the first time in a 50-overs World Cup match.

This new campaign has been aptly named '8 ka wait' (Wait for 8), symbolizing the anticipation for Pakistan's first victory against India in the World Cup. India currently holds a 7-0 record against Pakistan in ODI World Cup encounters.

Pakistan is set to arrive in Hyderabad on Wednesday night after a layover in Dubai. The Cricket World Cup kicks off on October 5, while Pakistan will take on the Netherlands in their opening match on October 6.
