The countdown for the curtain-raiser of the 15th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has already begun. The first game of the season is just ten days away. The excitement among fans for the same is already skyrocketing and the broadcasters are leaving no stones unturned to keep the hype up. Star Sports Network has launched a brand-new ad campaign, #YehAbNormalHai for the 15the edition of the Indian T20 League.
A series of teasers have been launched under the same hashtag featuring MS Dhoni donning different avatars to tease the fans. A new teaser was again launched on Monday featuring the former India captain. Dhoni donned a new avatar yet again, a bomb diffusing squad's adviser this time. In the video, Dhoni is heard advising not to cut any wire as it can lead to a blast.
Actually, the message being given through the ad is that any team can lift the title and not just CSK or MI (represented by yellow and blue wires). As one of the bomb diffusers cuts a wire other than blue and yellow, the bomb blasts indicating that fans should not underestimate aby team. Dhoni also emphasizes the same by saying, "Dekha. Tumhe kya laga, yahan sirf neela or peela fatta hai. Yahan koi bhi fat sakta hain (See. Did you think only blue and yellow can lead to a blast here? Any can lead to a blast)," he said.
The broadcasters shared the teaser with the caption "Maana ? aur ? ka raha hai domination, par naye saal mein kisi naye rang ka bhi dikh sakta hai tashan - #TATAIPL mein #YehAbNormalHai!".
