8 Cricket Advertisements which epitomize the game in the real sense

4. Cricket v Football:

The Cricket v Football debate never ends and this commercial is an example. It features 3 of the most famous footballers Chelsea’s Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard and Fernando Torres and Indian cricket stars Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina and Harbhajan Singh.

The footballers come on the practice ground to grab a Pepsi where Indian cricketers are present. As soon as they take out a bottle it is snatched by Virat who challenges the footballers that if they want Pepsi they got to play cricket.

They all gear up, Drogba is handed over a cricket ball and Kohli is on strike waiting for the delivery. The bowling however, is done in a different style by the three football legends. Drogba kicks the ball to Frank Lampard who shows his skills tumbling the ball with his feet and kicks it towards Fernando Torres who treats the ball same way and finally passes it to the bowler who kicks the ball straight towards Kohli striking off the bails.

The trio celebrates that when Mahi come in as the umpire declaring it a ‘No ball.’ The cricketers burst into a laugh as Torres pops up the question “what is a no ball?” Dhoni replies by snatching the Pepsi and saying ” it means no Pepsi.”
