Lipton, on the other hand, rolled out #StrongRaho which, one can assume, is killing two birds with one stone making the association between the strength of tea and Pakistani resilience during the cricket season.
It hasn't been the best of time for the Pakistan team in the 2023 World Cup. After an impressive start with wins against Netherlands and Sri Lanka, the Babar Azam-led side were humiliated in Ahmedabad with a seven-wicket hammering by host nation India to leave more questions about their bid for a semifinal qualification in the tournament. And as the team looks forward to getting their campaign back in track, few of their key players have been grappled by high fever.
The players had arrived in the city on Sunday, the day after their loss against India in Ahmedabad. On Monday, as per a video posted on social media by Pakistan cricket team's handle, the players had gone out for a dinner as the likes of Babar Azam and Mohammad Nawaz were seen enjoying the food and ambience.
Amid their preparation for the next big game, few players, as many as five, have been reportedly down with high fever since their arrival in Bengaluru. Opener Abdullah Shafique, who had scored a century against Sri Lanka in Pakistan's record chase, has been grappling with an illness and is yet to recover, while players like Shaheen Afridi and Usama Mir, who had earlier shown symptoms, have recovered.

There were 3 options given and the winner was promised a grand prize. Hence, their goal was to engage with the audience by taking advantage of both their brand ambassador and the on-going cricket fever.
These are just 3 out of hundreds of brands that leverage the power of social media and cricket fever in India to boost their brand presence as much as possible and engage with their potential customers. Not capitalizing on this peak time might turn out to be a regrettable mistake.
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 19 (ANI): From celebs to the man on the street, the excitement levels in a cricket-mad country are at their peak as Team India braces for a World Cup title showdown against five-time champions Australia at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday.
Mudra Max is fully aware of the excitement our cricketers are generating these days. And, cashing in on this cricket fever, the OOH agency has fully wrapped and branded the trains of Delhi Metro running on the Delhi Airport Metro express line, which links the Indira Gandhi International airport with the New Delhi metro station.
Mudra Max OOH has designed an out of home (OOH) campaign for Pepsi called 'Change The Game'. The 360-degree campaign kicked off on January 15 before the commencement of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011, in order to promote the fever and spirit of the game.
It was renamed Pepsi-Cola in 1898, "Pepsi" because it was advertised to relieve dyspepsia[4][3][5] (indigestion) and "Cola" referring to the cola flavor.[5] Some have also suggested that "Pepsi" may have been a reference to the drink aiding digestion like the digestive enzyme pepsin,[6][5] but pepsin itself was never used as an ingredient to Pepsi-Cola.[3]
Pepsi also has sponsorship deals in international cricket teams.[71] The Pakistani national cricket team is one of the teams that the brand sponsors.[71] The team wears the Pepsi logo on the front of their test and ODI test match clothing.
The cola war between Coke and Pepsi is extending to the IPL turf, with Coca Cola replacing rival PepsiCo as sponsors of Mumbai Indians and Kings XI Punjab in the fourth season of the T20 league.
With the new tie-ups, Coca Cola will be sponsoring five out of the ten IPL teams ready for the cricket battle between April 8 and May 28.
Coca Cola that has been associated with Delhi Daredevils and Kolkata Knight Riders in the previous seasons, said it will also become the sponsor of Mumbai Indians, Deccan Chargers and Kings XI Punjab.
According to industry sources, the company will spend about Rs 50 crore during the tournament to promote its brands across media platforms.
"We have extended our association with IPL by partnering with three new teams. The teams that we are sponsoring belong to markets that are very important for Coca Cola," Coca Cola India Director Marketing Wasim Basir said.
Commenting on the teams that were earlier associated with rival PepsiCo, Basir said: "The teams were available and we wanted to associate with them."
Interestingly, Coca Cola has recently announced Sachin Tendulkar has its 'Happiness Ambassador'.
Tendulkar who is the captain for Mumbai Indians was dropped by PepsiCo in 2008 as the brand ambassador after the company started focussing on younger brand ambassadors for its 'Youngistaan' campaign.
It would be also interesting to recall that Coca Cola had teamed up Kolkata Knight Riders which is co-owned by Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan after he was also dropped by PepsiCo for similar reasons.
PepsiCo, which was the official sponsor of the ICC World Cup, did not comment on the development.
However, a company spokesperson said its association will continue with Chennai Super Kings for this season of IPL.
With a robust portfolio of five teams, Coca Cola will soon kick off a marketing campaign to promote the Coke brand.
"The campaign will include TV ads, out door hoardings and promotion, onground activation and free sampling initiatives," Basir said.
He said the company has increased its marketing spend by about 20-25 per cent compared to last year and about 25 per cent of the total spends would be made during the tournament.
Advertisements featuring cricketers from the respective teams will be launched as a part of the ongoing 'Brrr' campaign for Coke.
"We are creating a Brrr squad of three people for each team for Internet activation, which will become the single point of contact between the fans and teams," Coca Cola Senior Brand Manager Abhijit Datta said.
Meanwhile, leading FMCG firm Godrej has also launched a new marketing initiative called 'Power Play' with aim to cash in on from the ongoing cricket fever.
