The game of cricket is undergoing a sea of change. IPL is garnering support beyond expectations.

With increasing demands, the players have adjusted to the new workloads by reinventing themselves.

Be it the Dhoni’s with their Helicopter shots or Kevin Pieterson with his Switch hits. They have in their own ways disrupted the Game of Cricket. Making a brand like Pepsi Co (who now is the official sponsor of the IPL starting 2013) endorse this unorthodox style of shot-making through their Ad campaign ‘ Change the game’.
