Former India head coach Ravi Shastri has donned quite a few hats through his illustrious career. On Saturday, he added a Cred advertisement to his portfolio of work. The former coach is currently one of the experts on the broadcast for IPL 2022.
The series of adverts have featured Neeraj Chopra and Rahul Dravid previously, shows Shastri as someone who likes a party.
The advert starts with Shastri enacting Shah Rukh Khan's famous "70 minutes" speech from 'Chak de! India" to a team of players, but with a twist. "70 minutes. You have just 70 minutes and then, Happy Hours are over," he exclaims before giving a war cry of "Let's party!"
"Don't remember any of this," Shastri tweeted along with the video.
The commercial goes on to show Shastri saying that answering the media is among the things he dislikes the most in cricket. Shastri, as expected, is dressed quite flamboyantly throughout the video, which is likely to produce a few laughs for any one who watches it.
Shastri was the head coach of the Indian men's cricket team until the T20 World Cup last year. In more recent weeks, the former India cricketer has also urged the former India captain Virat Kohli to take a break and rejuvenate and return in good form.
