The Indian Premier League (IPL) has been resonating with the spirit of India since 2008. With its own loyal fan base, the country has found segregations through its teams like the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Delhi Capitals (DC), Mumbai Indians (MI), Rajasthan Royals (RR), Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Kings XI Punjab (KXIP).
To endorse every season, the Indian viewers have seen various ads over the years. Some of them were too hilarious to be true and kept all of us entertained for the longest time. Here’s looking back at these commercials.
