As much as we like the game of cricket we swear by the great cricketers that we are lucky enough to witness their games. The world has witnessed many great champions in all these years and even new faces keep adding to the teams of bests. But what jolts our spirit a bit is when any of a great cricketer bids farewell to the cricket world.

With the farewell of our favorite Sixer King, Yuvraj Singh we are sad to announce that he is not the only one retiring from the cricket world. According to the source we now have names of a few best-known players who may be hanging their gloves after this ODI World Cup (2019).

Read below and find the list of cricketers who could take retirement after world cup 2019:

1. Chris Gayle

West Indian player Chris Gayle is a name that every cricket team dreaded to take. His game gives the nightmares to the opponent’s team. When Gayle is amongst those crickets who are totally into the game when they are out on the field. For his fierce batting, people give names that are associated with dreadfuls.

He is one of those two cricketers who have scored a double hundred in ODI World Cup. Gayle has been playing since the 1990s and his game is still the same. But according to the source, this ODI World Cup could be his last one. The great batsman has played 275 matches and bagged about 10k runs.

2. MS Dhoni

via: Twitter

With amazing 14 years of cricket career, Indian cricket team’s champion MS Dhoni needs no introduction. He is the only wicketkeeper that the cricket world witnessed who is blessed with even better batting and captainship skills.

No matter he is the captain or not, we find Dhoni as the one who is advising and guiding players on the field. Known for his helicopter shots MS Dhoni has almost 10k runs to his account and has played 318 matches till date. But rumors are that this ODI World Cup 2019 might be his last one.

3. AB De Villiers

South African player AB De Villiers has nearly 10k runs to his account with a strike rate of 101, he remains one of the best gems of South African team. Famous for his 360-degree shots, the great SA batsman is about to bid goodbye to the test cricket game. His returning from the test cricket match is mostly because of his injuries although it hadn’t stopped him from playing his best matches.

He has played 228 matches and with his great batsmanship stroke about 26 hundred in his career. We are sure not just the South African team but the whole cricket world will miss a gem like him.

4. Ross Taylor

New Zealand’s “slog sweeper” Ross Taylor has played 203 matches in his cricket career. New Zealand’s batsman has given his team huge contribution throughout these years, his remarkable contribution was back in 2011 when she scored a hundred against Pakistan. The 235 years old cricketer would be saying goodbye to the ODI tests after the ODI World Cup 2019.

5. Hashim Amla

Seems like South African cricket team is going to lose its two gems altogether as the news is around the corner that Hashim Amla is also going to say goodbye to ODI World Cups after the World Cup of 2019. He is one the fastest to score 7000 ODI runs with an average of 50. He has played 164 matches and has hit 26 hundred with his total run rate of 7535 runs.

Seems like 2019 ODI World Cup is crucial to watch as we may be witnessing these five tremendous players for the last time on the field. No matter how many new faces come to the cricket world, the gems of all time remain in the records and memories of us all.

For cricket lovers not only the cricket match is enjoyable but everything associated with cricket makes it a super hit series. The commercials, tweets, social media wars (especially during India- Pakistan match). We as fans thoroughly enjoy this healthy rivalry cum competition between nations. But the story goes way beyond the plot when it is all about India Pakistan World Cup cricket. Then, it is like, as if not the cricket teams but armies have taken over the ground and it is a situation called do or die.

We take cricket seriously, but way too seriously when it is about India-Pakistan. In the wake of India Pakistan World Cup series, even commercials become an inevitable part of the series. Do you remember how Star Sports came up with a new commercial about the whole “Mauka Mauka” trolling of Pakistan? The commercial featured a Pakistani man waiting to burn firecracker to celebrate Pakistan’s victory in World Cup I 1992. This commercial created a lot of buzzes and the whole “Mauka Mauka” element reigned social media.

Well, we recently witnessed how the Pakistani Cricket team below their “Mauka” even this time during India-Pakistan match.

And this gives way to have a look at 8 best Mauka Muka ads that we all enjoyed in the past.

1. Mauka-Mauka musical ad (India –Bangladesh World Cup 2015)

This ad created a huge hustle bustle in social media and all over the world. The ad shows India Pakistan team battling a musical argument where at the end Indian team sings “Mauka Mauka” in the form of Qawali. This created a lot of noise in the whole world; it agonized Pakistani fans that they wanted a war against India on the grounds of this advertisement.

2. Kya Agya Pakistan ka Mauka?

In ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 this Ad from Star Sports introduced a Pakistan fan waiting to celebrate for Pakistan when he removes India’s jersey and puts on Pakistan jersey. The voice in the ad asks kya Aayega Pakistan ka mauka?

3. Quarter Final Mein Kiska Mauka?

While in Quarter Final of ICC Cricket World Cup 2015, Pakistan had to beat Ireland to qualify the ad depicts the anxiety of a Pakistani fan evesdrops to two commentators’ conversation about chances of Pakistan or Mauka.

4. ICC Cricket T20 World Cup 2016 India vs Bangladesh

This Mauka Mauka ad was aiming at both Bangladesh and Pakistani team wishing for the trophy of World Cup. The video shows a photoshop shot that takes pictures of Pakistani player in order to put world cup in hand, by editing the photo. In the next scene, a Bangladesh player enters asking for World Cup and end up being threatened by Dhoni’s performance.

5. ICC Cricket World Cup T20 2016 India vs Pakistan

The Pakistani fan is shown with his son urging Shahid Afridi to win this time as he has grown old and wants his team to win at least one time to show his son the victory. It had a bit of emotion in the video but the message was only that they couldn’t get Mauka ever.

6. ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 India vs West Indies

In this ad, the iconic Pakistan fan has decided to support the West Indies wearing the jersey and waiting to celebrate by firing crackers. Only then, a young Indian Team fan comes at the doorstep teasing him to play Holi because even this time he won’t get “mauka” to burn crackers.

7. ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 India vs South Africa

This one is funny as it shows two South African team fan comes at the doorstep of Indian team fans and hand over a box of firecracker singing “Mauka Mauka”.

8. ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 India vs UAE

This ad by Star Sports shows the Pakistan fan in anger as India beats South Africa. Then the doorbell rings a UAE fan gives UAE jersey to Pakistani Fan.

We all witnessed ” India-Pakistan” match, last night. We saw how team Pakistan lost it to Indian Cricket tram by 89 runs. It is natural for people to react both over India’s victory and the defeat of Pakistan. Sure people are taking over social media about the last night’s scenario. But, believe us it’s not the victory or defeat that people are tweeting endlessly about, the verdict of the match is not the hot point anymore on social media.

Tweetarians have taken over Twitter for all the other reasons. Somehow, they cannot take it easy on the Pakistani team and their reactions are hilarious. Don’t believe us?

Well, take a look at these tweets and try to stop laughing.

Ek harami player out hota hai uss se bhi bara harami player aa jata hai. What is this team.

Apart from everything, we must learn to appreciate the beauty of the game.

We can take sides and support our teams but both sides have the ability to stun us.

Pak being the unpredictable and India with the strongest batting order, let there be some good cricket.

Shifting to India, I swear they always nail it in every section whether it is batting or bowling. What an amazing innings they have given. Kholi is a great captain with a strong team. Congratulations India.

Don’t call me a traitor, but look at the Indian players, they look like proper athletes, our players look like they’ve eaten two plates of waris nihari with feeqay ki lassi and benazir kulfa, all at once.

Simply put Indian cricket reflects the entire Indian system, domestic cricket, cricket management & administration and our team reflects mediocrity, poor cricket management & a dying domestic structure. Its a HOCKEY like debacle in the making. #PAKvIND
