MS Dhoni becomes the most recalled brand ambassador in India

According to a report by the Indian Institute of Human Brands (IIHB), MS Dhoni and Ranveer Singh were the most recalled brand ambassadors for the IPL 2021.

According to the report, MS Dhoni’s spontaneous recall was unusually high at 82%. MS Dhoni’s association with Dream11 was also very constant at 79% from the last edition followed by a 9% association with IPL or Star sports

However, Virat Kohli’s ranking dropped in the list with his association with the MRF Tyres contributing majorly to the score. Remarkably, the Rahul Dravid CRED ad, which went viral, made people spontaneously recall the cricketer courtesy his association with CRED. The Rahul Dravid CRED ad saw him getting angry beyond measure after he was stuck in traffic. The advertisement with Rahul Dravid was so popular that only 2% of people could recall the association of CRED with Jackie Shroff and Kumar Sanu.
