Before releasing the theme song, Star Sports had released two advertisements featuring MS Dhoni in the same campaign. While one ad saw the Chennai Super Kings captain narrating the tale of Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma’s ‘greediness’, the talismanic wicket-keeper batsman explained about Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli’s ‘anger’ in the other video. IPL 2021 anthem also features many big names like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill and KL Rahul. Have a look!
