Ahead of the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) season, India captain Rohit Sharma has appeared in a new Dream11 commercial alongside fellow cricket players Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant, and Hardik Pandya. Bollywood heavyweights Aamir Khan and Ranbir Kapoor are also featured in the hilarious teaser, which creates a playful crossover between cricket and Bollywood.
Aamir Khan starts a feud with Ranbir Kapoor in the advertisement after mistaking him for actor Ranveer Singh. A playful altercation results from this miscommunication, and Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, and Hardik Pandya intervene to diffuse the tension. The lighthearted rivalry ends when Aamir and Ranbir decide to work out their differences by selecting the top pre-match fantasy squad from among the Indian cricket players.
The ad also features Ravichandran Ashwin, a former India spinner and Chennai Super Kings legend, who makes a tongue-in-cheek remark on his retirement, adding to the promo’s comic tone.
Rivalries ka season ek baar phirse shuru hogaya hai 🔥🔥
