The suspense regarding India's former legendary skipper MS Dhoni's press conference ended on Sunday as it turned out to be an ad promotion for Cadbury’s Oreo cookies. While many speculated Dhoni’s retirement, the fans took a sigh of relief when it was revealed as a marketing gimmick for Oreo.
Earlier taking to his Facebook, Dhoni had informed that he would be sharing some exciting news on Sunday, September 25 at 2PM IST. The post soon went viral and fans started speculating about Dhoni’s next move on social media.
However, despite it being an advertisement, the craze to see Dhoni was evident as the video crossed 6 million views in just 24 hours.
In the advertisement, a journalist invited Dhoni on stage and told him that India had lifted the World Cup in 2011, when the biscuit brand was launched. The former Indian skipper said that since there is a World Cup this year, he is launching the brand once again.
Watch the video here:
"This year we have one more World Cup. And if the biscuit brand can launch again, then India can win the Cup again," said MS Dhoni.
With the speculation around Dhoni's retirement now laid to rest, fans will see MSD in IPL 2023 leading the Chennai Super Kings.
