If you are a famous Indian cricketer, you are gonna feature in a lot of advertisements. We have seen this trend for a long time and its only getting stronger. Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant are superstars of Indian Cricket and were understandably roped in as brand ambassadors of a company to promote its face care products for men. The company had recently released a new advertising campaign on Thursday. The video shows Indian captain and young wicketkeeper sensation rapping about the benefits of the products with some cool moves.
“Walking like a dude, feeling all cool, you’ve got the look, you’re gonna rule,” says Kohli at the beginning. The video was shared by India’s ODI number 3 through his Twitter. Check out the video.

Funny, I never did say there was nothing wrong with it. I would do the same. Your interpretation of my comment was so ‘glass half full’ if I attach ?. Your interpretation would be different
