Gulf Oil goes bananas to support Men in Blue at ICC World Cup

Gulf Pride Battery demonstrated its encouragement and support for the Indian cricket team, ahead of its first match at the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup, in a novel and innovative way – by delivering bananas to the Men in Blue their favourite power snack.

The Gulf Champion Banana delivery convoy, made-up of a Gulf-liveried Aston Martin Vantage GT8 and Mitsubishi pick-up, set-off from Gulf offices in Central London, passing by Lord’s – the Home of Cricket – The Oval and Hampshire County Cricket ground in Southampton on England’s south coast, before arriving at their final destination -  the Grand Harbour Hotel.

The Gulf Oil team delivered a whole truck full of bananas to the hotel with their best wishes for Team India – thus doing their bit to help ensure that the Indian cricket team gets off to a flying start against the Proteas. “Start Mast Toh Din Zabardast” (‘Good thing begin with a good start’) is the credo of Gulf Battery and, therefore, seems very appropriate for this particular mission.
