India is a cricket-crazy nation and the cricketers are literally worshipped like heroes. If you win you will be treated like a king but if you fail people will start questioning your place in the team. Indian cricketers have a huge fan following around the globe. TV commercials also play an important part in shaping the brand image of cricketers. Since the turn of the century, the popularity of commercials has also increased considerably. rom the boost ad with Kapil Dev to Reynold’s pen ad featuring Sachin Tendulkar, every commercial had its own brand appeal. In recent times, Virat Kohli has taken over the baton of acting in different TV commercials and is the richest cricketer in terms of endorsements and sponsorships. So, here’s a list of 5 hilarious TV commercials featuring current and former Indian cricketers:

1. TAMILIAN VIRAT KOHLI – MUNCH AD

In the advertisement, Virat Kohli can be seen as a Tamilian doppelganger of his own. Though his face is similar to Virat Kohli's, the same can’t be said about his cricketing talent. As a result, he was rejected by his local team.

However, his luck changed soon. He helped his team avoid a third defeat on the trot by the ‘Crunch of his Munch’. He soon becomes a fan favorite and also manages to find a place in the team. The ad ends with “Mera crunch mahaan”.

2. TAMILIAN MS DHONI (PEPSI- “YEH HAIN YOUNGISTAAN MERI JAAN”)
