Dream11, a fantasy sports platform, has launched a new advertising campaign, “Poora Fan Bano”, ahead of the Women’s Cricket World Cup 2024. The campaign encourages cricket fans to support the Indian Women’s Cricket Team, emphasising that true fans of the sport support all versions of the game, regardless of who’s playing.
The campaign film has been conceptualised and produced by Tilt Brand Solutions and Studio Q.
In a tongue-in-cheek series of ads, Rohit Sharma, the Indian men’s cricket team’s Captain, is seen along with Harmanpreet Kaur, captain of the Indian women’s cricket team, and batters Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues. The ads humorously highlight how Aadha (half) fans focus only on men’s cricket, while a true blue cricket (Poora) fan also supports the women’s team.
The fans in the campaign are played by digital content creators Aakash Gupta, Ravi Gupta and RJ Kisna, Rohit Sharma provides the clarion call for viewers to cheer for the Indian women’s team in the upcoming T20 World Cup.
The Poora Fan Bano campaign includes funny interactions of fans with members of the Women’s Cricket Team, accompanied by Sharma. The sequences are in various environments and through light-hearted situational comedy, fans are reminded by Sharma that there is a Women’s World Cup coming up, and as true fans of the sport, they should be supporting the Women’s Cricket Team.
With a long-standing association with the BCCI, Dream11 is the Team India Lead Sponsor since 2023 across the Women’s and Men’s National Cricket Teams.
