Brands pay tribute as Virat Kohli retires from Test cricket
Virat Kohli’s retirement from Test cricket after a stellar 123-match career didn’t just mark the end of an era for Indian cricket, it also triggered an emotional wave across the digital landscape. Brands, quick to tap into the cultural moment, paid creative tributes to the cricketing legend.
Swiggy Food led with a witty wordplay, saying, aam ka season aate hi cheeku retire hogaya, a nod to Kohli’s nickname Cheeku and the ongoing mango season, blending humour and heartbreak. Netflix India took a more heartfelt approach, likening the news to a painful season finale, calling Kohli their 'GOAT'.
The creative wave extended beyond cricket fandom, as brands across sectors aligned themselves with Kohli’s legacy, from his consistency and aggression to his class and leadership. These posts weren’t just moment marketing; they were love letters from a digital India raised on Kohli’s cover drives and charisma.
