KL Rahul was at the center of a hilarious banter in the latest Dream11 IPL 2024 advertisement which also features Rohit Sharma and Bollywood star Suniel Shetty.
In the ad, Rohit and Shetty can be seen sitting in a restaurant and are approached by Rahul wanting to join the duo on the table. But Rohit declared it as a “family dinner”, leaving Rahul bemused. What follows that moment is even more funny. As Suniel Shetty amusingly concurs with Rohit and added, “jab tak tournament on hai, Sharmaji ka beta, mera beta” ( As long as tournament is on, Mr Sharma’s son is like my son).
Rohit Sharma posted the ad on his official Instagram account captioning it, “Ab seedhe tournament ke baad milte hain @klrahul, tab tak ke liye @suniel.shetty humare hue.”
This latest pun-intending ad released by the Dream11 is part of the series that features Bollywood celebrities and star cricketers from different IPL franchises. More recently, Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant were also seen in a light-hearted banter promoting both the IPL and Dream11.
