A Make My Trip advertisement for Pakistani fans attending the India vs Pakistan match at the ICC World Cup 2023 has sparked controversy online. The ad, posted ahead of the match, offers discounts to Pakistani fans based on the margin of defeat for Pakistan. It received criticism from internet users who labeled it “horrible” and questioned the sportsmanship of the nation. Some users called for a boycott of the brand, while others defended the advertisement. Homestays & Villas also distanced itself from the ad and stated that they would not serve their properties to Pakistani citizens. Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag expressed support for the ad, while some users praised its creativity. The match is being telecasted on the Star Sports Network and streamed live on Disney+ Hotstar.
