KARACHI: India hit a raw nerve with their World Cup advertisement showing how they have defeated Pakistan in the tournament five times in a row since 1992.

The advertisement, that went viral on social media, shows a Pakistani watching the India vs Pakistan match in 1992, 1996, 1999, 2003 and 2011. The footage shows how India defeated Pakistan in all five matches and the man brings out fireworks and doesn’t get to light them.

In the end, the man looks disappointed and says: “Kab phorangay yaar?”

The Indians should be commended for their creativity, no doubt. But this year, we hope Pakistan break the jinx on February 15!

Here is the much talked about ad:

FAISAL FAROOQI | 9 years ago | Reply I'm just catching up with this commercial challenge. As a Pakistani-American living in the US for almost 20 years, I do find it as a good humor. I mean, here in the States, they make rivalry commercials over here when it comes to NFL, MLB, NBA & NHL. There was even a video that viral (which was funny by the way) after Brazil was humiliated by Germany during the World Cup semi-final last year. So what if the India beat Pakistan? Look at where they're now after beating SA a few days ago. So keep up with the commercials!
