    "editor1": "<p><strong>June 15 (CRICKETNMORE)<\/strong> The digital war between the fans of India and Pakistan ahead of the World Cup clash between the two teams on Sunday doesn&#39;t seem to end.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>First, Star came out with an advertisement where an Indian supporter describes himself as Pakistan&#39;s &quot;abbu&quot; (father), referring to India&#39;s domination over their rivals in the showpiece event.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In response to that, Pakistan&#39;s Jazz TV used a spoof of Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman to create hype over the match.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>After that, another promotional video came which showed an Indian fan shooting down the tyre of a Pakistan supporter&#39;s bike who mocked him while asking for petrol to reach the airport.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>And now, another video has come in which an Indian and a Pakistani fan are seated at a barber shop. The actor sporting the Pakistani jersey, addresses the Indian as &quot;abbu&quot; and gives him a handkerchief which the latter would be requiring once the Men in Blue lose in Sunday&#39;s marquee clash in Manchester.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Agitated by this, the barber gives the Pakistani &quot;the Abhinandan cut&quot; -- the signature moustache of the Indian Air Force pilot -- instead of a cut like Shahid Afridi.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Towards the end of the video, the Indian fan tells his Pakistani counterpart, &quot;This game is so unique. It only takes a day for a father to make his son realize that they cannot win the World Cup. You (Pakistanis) remain content with the tea cup left by Abhinandan.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Tennis star Sania Mirza and celebrity commentator Harsha Bhogle have called the advertisements &quot;cringeworthy&quot; saying there was no need to &quot;hype up&quot; the India-Pakistan match with rubbish.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Cringeworthy ads on both sides of the border. Seriously guys, you don&#39;t need to &#39;hype up&#39; or market the match anymore specially with rubbish! It has enough attention already! It&#39;s only cricket for God sake, and if you think it&#39;s anymore than that then get a grip or get a life!!,&quot; tweeted Sania on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I am disappointed by the pettiness and jingoism that India versus Pakistan at cricket is being reduced to. Hopefully it will be over after tomorrow&#39;s game,&quot; said Bhogle on Twitter on Saturday.<\/p>\r\n",
