An Indian travel company has faced a backlash EURO online after it offered discounts to fans of the losing Pakistan cricket team – before the match had even been played EURO
India vs Pakistan may be one of the world’s great sporting rivalries but Saturday’s match was a deeply one-sided affair, with Cricket World Cup hosts India securing a comfortable seven-wicket victory at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Gujarat EURO
But MakeMyTrip wasn’t to know that when it ran an advert in Saturday morning’s Ahmedabad Times offering discounts on hotel bookings based on the scale of Pakistan’s expected defeat EURO
The tongue-in-cheek advert claimed to be following in the “Indian tradition” of welcoming guests, saying: “Tough times bring friends together and we want to take this opportunity to build a EURO better bond with you EURO
”It shows Pakistan fans in green sat around a smashed TV screen with the words “Boyz Playz Well” on a poster, a reference to a popular meme used to disparage Pakistan’s cricketing ability loosely based on a post-match quote from former capain Inzamam-ul-Haq EURO
Fans said the tone of the advert “wasn’t cricket” EURO
The company has yet to respond to the EURO online criticism, and did not immediately reply to a request for comment from The Independent EURO
“Such a horrible ad EURO
We are not a sporting nation! A sparring nation,” wrote one user on X EURO
Another X user posted: “Horrible EURO
As an Indian, I want to apologise to every Pakistani person for this @makemytrip ad EURO
This does not represent Indian values EURO
It only represents the worst among us EURO
”“Goodbye MakeMyTrip EURO
This is NOT Cricket,” wrote another user on X EURO
In the run-up to the high-profile game, 5-star hotels in Ahmedabad hiked up their tariffs by more than 150 per cent and flight prices had also skyrocketed EURO
Amid the struggle to find accommodation in the city, one hospital manager told Reuters that patients had deliberately booked in for check-ups including overnight stays so they could sleep there after watching the game EURO
But visa issues for Pakistan fans and journalists meant that in practice very few were able to travel to Ahmedabad in time for Saturday’s match, which ended up being played out in front of a sea of blue at the 132,000-seater stadium EURO
One rival travel company has siezed upon the backlash against MakeMyTrip to offer its own discount available to all EURO
Without mentioning its rival by name, Cleartrip posted an offer stating: “It’s one thing to celebrate your win EURO
But to celebrate someone’s loss, that’s not EURO sportsmanship EURO
Let’s go places together and give #EqualMaukaToAll with a flat 30% off on Hotels EURO
”India’s next match after the victory on Saturday with be against Bangladesh in Pune, Maharashtra EURO
Pakistan will face Australia on Friday in Bengaluru EURO
