Every Cricket World Cup gives us something to remember them by. Sometimes it’s the enthralling run-chase routine, sometimes it’s a fantastic batting performance – but underlying all these memories exists the magic of advertising. It’s those creative geniuses who make some of the most memorable advertisements that remain locked in our hearts forever. This time it will be the year of ‘Mauka Mauka’ ads. No wonder that these cricketing events are the most amazing time for advertisers to flood television with their amazing ads! Here are some advertisements that remain close to our heart, and are part of our childhood nostalgia. These 8 Epic Cricket World Cup Ads That Will Make You Say Yeh Dil Maange More
Probably it’s our parents who remember this ad and we were probably too young to register this. But it is overwhelming to see how the ‘world is coming down, and flags are up!’ bit was glorified in this one. This will make you humming for a while!
Okay, this one was the first ad that mesmerized us in what was probably our earliest memory of Cricket World Cup. And yes, it was around this time that we became fans of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
Oh boy! Nostalgia hits hard with this one. Remember ‘Apple Singh’? Well, Sanjay Mishra did keep us entertained during the short ad-breaks during the World Cup with his Apple Singh bit.
Remember when Sachin took a trip to Honolulu with Shane Warne? Yes, you do! And this ad just sky rockets you to the magical innings by Tendulkar against Pakistan.
This one has to go down as one of the best campaigns for one of the worst products ever! Pepsi wanted to lure consumers to try their cola variant called ‘Pepsi Gold’. Well, this one went to the trash like a used earbud. What remained was India’s saddening early exit from this World Cup.
Oh yes! This was the time when Pepsi made us believe that Dhoni learnt his ‘helicopter’ shot from a random fellow. And other cricketers learnt theirs from ordinary people. These ads will definitely be remembered for years to come.
