Mumbai Indians cricketer Hardik Pandya recently appeared in a commercial for Indian fantasy sports app Dream11. In a short 19-second video, the burly all-rounder can be seen playing cricket on a roof-top with youngsters, where he smashes the ball into oblivion to display his power-hitting dexterity. The commercial premiered on Thursday, September 17, i.e. just two days prior to the launch of the Indian Premier League 2020 (IPL 2020) season with Pandya's team and defending champions Mumbai Indians taking on Chennai Super Kings.

In the aforementioned Dream11 commercial, Hardik Pandya hits the ball out of the roof, thus bringing the game to a halt. Later, other players approach the all-rounder to pay up ₹20 for the lost ball, while citing the rules of street cricket. While Pandya says he is short of cash, he hilariously gets kicked out of the match and the commercial cuts to Dream11’s latest slogan: “Yahan sab same hai!” (translation: Here, the rules apply for everyone).
