Cricketers and brand endorsements go hand in hand! And, they are certainly loved by the fans. After all, we all enjoy watching the entertaining side of cricketers who otherwise look intense on the pitch battling for victory.
Hands down, Virat Kohli is a cricketer who aces in acting as much as he does on the 22-yards. In fact, his acting skills are so bang on that he can actually give his actress wife Anushka Sharma a run for her money!
Confident as ever, Virat (unfortunately) tried his hand at rapping a song as well. (Sobs)
Virat Kohli and the latest ICC Emerging Player of the Year 2018, Rishabh Pant, are the new brand ambassadors of a healthcare brand. After sharing the cricket field, Kohli and Pant teamed up for an advertisement of Men’s facewash. And, they are seen rapping a ‘pimple song’ in the ad!
And, that’s all I have to say about it because this video has left me speechless, shocked and every synonym to WTF!
Virat and Pant, both of them simply suck at rapping! Period.
Moreover, Virat highly disappoints in the ad film as far as acting is concerned. (I had zero hopes from Pant so he doesn’t count). Also, it looks like Virat has got a spring attached to his neck and legs in the entire video!
Watch me and @RishabPant777 team up with @HimalayaMEN to take care of the one problem that keeps coming back. PIMPLES! #HimalayaMenPimplesGottaGo #LookingGoodAndLovingIt #VIRATxRISHABH pic.twitter.com/Pj4qetiOX1

No wonder, the internet is trolling them. While fellow cricketer Stuart Broad suggested two other names who could be better brand ambassadors to the product, others just can’t stop LOLing at the video.
I genuinely believe @josbuttler & @benstokes38 would be excellent ambassadors for this brand. Please contact @phoenixmg3. 👍

Can someone please suggest how to un-see this video? (Sobs again)
