Greetings!
Here's another masterpeice from the number one brand in sports equipment, Nike. It was always known for its exceptional creativity in the advertisement segment. For the first time Nike has come up with a major cricket commercial outside America. Its an awesome video potraying Cricket (Very much Indian) being played on the top of a bus stuck in a traffic jam with an excellent background song!! This commercial video full of nuance captures the true spirit of Indian cricket, galli cricket taken to the level of being played on the top of bus and truck with players fielding on the top of cars and hanging on traffic signal post. As usual there isnt much of the sportswear endorsed.

Apparently this is all part of Nike's Cricket World Cup push and its major attempt to tap into the Indian market. Nike has also become the official apparel sponsor for Team India and it recently unveiled the new national team uniform.
Nike has signed a five year contract for which the company paid BCCI a sum of 169 crores. Though internationally No 1, with dominance of huge margin which even led to the No 2 and No 3 players in the world to merge (Adidas buying over Reebok), Nike has not really made its presence felt in the Indian market with only 15% of market share and Reebok commanding 40% market share and Adidas 20%. The company has planned to strike it hot with cricket in its arsenal and World cup around the corner.
This surely speaks volumes about the realisations of major compaines around the globe of the potentials of the Indian economy which is growing steadfast. Good luck for Nike, Good luck for Team India with a brand new apparel, lets hope the Indian spirits are high and firing in the world cup as shown in the video.. India.. Just Do It!!
