A new google ad shows India ‘A’ coach Rahul Dravid grabbing all the eyeballs despite having called it a day.

It is no surprise that in India's brand landscape, cricket commands an unparalleled attention. For the longest time though, the bigwigs of Indian cricket - Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar - have hogged the media limelight.

However, Google Pixel 2 has come up with a new ad featuring former India batsman and incumbent head-coach of India A, Rahul Dravid along with the likes of Shardul Thakur and Shreyas Iyer. The video shows Dravid, the fourth highest run-scorer in Test cricket, grabbing all the eyeballs despite having called it a day even as the current India A cricketers wrestle for attention.
