India captain Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Jasprit Bumrah were the stars of the latest viral advertisement. The video kicked off with a casual conversation between Rohit and Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, with Pant playfully interrupting them to ask for a photo. But the unexpected twist came when Pant expressed his desire for a photo with Ranbir Kapoor instead, claiming to be a huge fan of the actor. This unexpected turn of events added an element of drama to the advertisement, leaving the viewers entertained and intrigued.
Bumrah, who is currently recovering from his back injury, which ruled him out of the Champions Trophy, had the last say in the advertisement as he chose to retire rather than play for Aamir or Ranbir's teams.
Earlier on Sunday, the Indian team clinched their third ICC Champions Trophy with a win over New Zealand in the final.
Skipper Rohit Sharma's swift half-century and good spells from spinners, in particular Varun Chakravarthy and Kuldeep Yadav, helped an all-around India seal their third Champions Trophy title.
Rohit was awarded the Player of the Match in the final for his brilliant performance in the championship game. He played an exceptional knock of 76 runs from 83 balls, which was laced with seven boundaries and three maximums.
Rohit keeps options open for 2027 ODI World CupAfter leading India to a historic win, Rohit said that he is keeping all his options and added that he cannot really commit to whether he will play in the 2027 ODI World Cup.
"It is very hard to say that right now," he said on the prospect of taking part in the showcase in two years' time, as quoted by ICC,
"But I am keeping all my options open. I want to see how well I am playing. Right now, I am playing really, really well, and I am enjoying everything I'm doing with this team, and the team is enjoying my company as well, which is nice. I cannot really say 2027, because it is too far, but I am keeping all my options open," he concluded his point," he added.
Meanwhile, the Indian players will soon return to the cricket field in the Indian Premier League 2025, which will commence on March 22. After winning the Champions Trophy, the Indian stars will be riding high on confidence and will play without much pressure in the cash-rich league.
