• An Indian travel company has faced a backlash cebu online after it offered discounts to fans of the losing Pakistan cricket team – before the match had even been played cebu
  
  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 cebu
  
  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 cebu
  
  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 cebu better bond with you cebu
  
  ”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 cebu
  
  Fans said the tone of the advert “wasn’t cricket” cebu
  
  The company has yet to respond to the cebu online criticism, and did not immediately reply to a request for comment from The Independent cebu
  
  “Such a horrible ad cebu
  
  We are not a sporting nation! A sparring nation,” wrote one user on X cebu
  
  Another X user posted: “Horrible cebu
  
  As an Indian, I want to apologise to every Pakistani person for this @makemytrip ad cebu
  
  This does not represent Indian values cebu
  
  It only represents the worst among us cebu
  
  ”“Goodbye MakeMyTrip cebu
  
  This is NOT Cricket,” wrote another user on X cebu
  
  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 cebu
  
  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 cebu
  
  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 cebu
  
  One rival travel company has siezed upon the backlash against MakeMyTrip to offer its own discount available to all cebu
  
  Without mentioning its rival by name, Cleartrip posted an offer stating: “It’s one thing to celebrate your win cebu
  
  But to celebrate someone’s loss, that’s not cebu sportsmanship cebu
  
  Let’s go places together and give #EqualMaukaToAll with a flat 30% off on Hotels cebu
  
  ”India’s next match after the victory on Saturday with be against Bangladesh in Pune, Maharashtra cebu
