Captain Cool is back with a new ad before the Cricket World Cup 2023 and has a mat bol' message for fans
The World Cup season is here, and former India captain MS Dhoni is back with another cheeky advertisement. Before the Cricket World Cup, starting October 5, Dhoni has an important message for fans and the well-wishers of the Rohit Sharma-led cricket team: play down the hype.
Flaunting his new hairstyle in the advertisement for a popular biscuit brand, MS Dhoni is seen joining a news panel discussion. When asked about his thoughts on the World Cup chances, the former skipper has a simple message: "Don't talk about India's chances". Dhoni says as he goes on and explains why.
However, the Dhoni character in the advertisement seems to have learned its lesson: don't create hype.
Dhoni said in the video, "Listen to me carefully. Let's not discuss India's chances in the World Cup. You know what happens when you create so much hype about something?"
When asked about last year's campaign and how India reached the semi-finals, Dhoni added, "This time, let's not take any chances. We won't say anything."
"Even if we win the first match, don't say anything. Even if we beat Pakistan, don't say anything. Even if we reach the final, don't say anything. Till we get what everyone wants, don't say anything."
