WATCH | '2 Cough Syrup on the rocks': Ravi Shastri's viral avatar in a new advertisement

Former Indian cricketer and head coach Ravi Shastri has been seen in a new avatar in a viral advertisement. The popular fintech company has always been innovative with its campaigns and has invited eminent personalities to feature in its ads. 

After Rahul Dravid's 'Indiranagar ka Gunda' and the 'Boy Band' featuring Jagaval Srinath, Venkatesh Prasad, and Maninder Singh, the company has come up with another interesting campaign.

The charismatic entity of Indian cricket posted the video on his official Twitter account and captioned it, "Don't remember any of this." 

Watch the video below:

The video starts with Shastri imitating the iconic dialogue of Shahrukh Khan's movie 'Chak de India'. He is seen telling the players that only 70 minutes are left for the happy hours to get completed in a bar, and they should make the most out of it, and echoes, 'Let's party'. 

In the following sequence, Shastri hits on a girl by saying, "I used to be a batsman, but for you, I can be a keeper."

After that, one of the journalists in a press conference asks Shastri about one thing he hates about modern cricket. To which the former all-rounder provides a quirky reply by saying, "Talking to journalists".  

Later, Shaz asks for "2 cough syrups on the rocks" at a pharmacy. The ad's theme song is based around his famous trademark commentary line, 'he is such a tracer bullet'. 

The video, which was posted on Saturday afternoon, has gone viral in no time, and people are going spellbound with the one-liners which have become big talking points across all the social media platforms. 

At present, Shastri is one of the commentators in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. During his stint as a head coach, the Indian team registered their first-ever away Test series win against Australia in 2018-19.
