Ravi Shastri headlines new CRED advertisement
CRED's latest ad named 'Play it Different' has Shastri at his hilarious and witty best. The ad starts off with Shastri as a coach, giving his team a pep-talk but this one is with a twist. Paroding Shah Rukh Khan's '70 minute' speech from Chak De! India, Shastri tells his team that they have only 70 minutes left to make the most of the happy hours at the club. Shastri is shown asking his players to keep their focus on the ball, but a twist shows it's a game of beer pong. The next scene shows Shastri at a press conference and when asked whether he would be partying later on, he sarcastically answers with a blunt no before smirking while his team bursts out laughing beside him. Shastri also shows his flirtatious side, where he tells a lady at the bar, 'I used to be a batsman, but for you I can be a keeper.' There is another clip of him roasting a journalist, where when asked what he hates about modern cricket, Shastri quips back 'Talking to journalists.' Shastri is also seen at a pharmacy with a glass with ice, which he places on the pharmacy counter and says '2 cough syrups, on the rocks.'
