WATCH: Social media reacts to broadcaster’s chokers advert ahead of India’s match against Proteas

StarSports India posted an advert on its X page ahead of the clash between India and South Africa on Sunday. The advert depicts an Indian and a South African cricket player dashing for the last cupcake in a coffee shop. Although the South African makes it to the cupcake first, he subsequently chokes on the cupcake.

X users have come out in defence of South Africa, saying that the sport network took the banter too far. The tweet was later deleted, but the video had already been widely shared. ALSO WATCH:Mayoral candidates get dirty in blue overalls
