Indian batter Virat Kohli and wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant did an advertisement together in 2019 for a brand. In the commercial, both cricketers have seen rapping to the tunes. However, the advertisement was not received well by the audience, and they were subject to heavy trolling.

Kohli had posted the video on his social media handles along with Pant. Even English pacer Stuart Broad became a part of the banter in between. The video was posted ahead of the ICC 2019 World Cup.

@jlandsme_93 it’s either the best or worst thing I’ve ever seen. Don’t know which.

Jesus! You really need someone to whet your scripts and the kind of commercials you do. This is no way to present the world’s greatest batsman. I’ll do it for free, because I’m a huge fan. Tell me where to send my creds for the job
