Why CRED had Ravi Shastri asking for "2 cough syrups on the rocks"

CRED, a high-trust community of creditworthy individuals, merchants and institutions, presents its new ad film, featuring Ravi Shastri and his quirky side.

Ravi Shastri has been a cricketer, coach and commentator and with this new ad film the former Indian all-rounder shows us that he is not only the life of the party, but the party follows him wherever he goes!

Cricketer and former Indian coach Ravi Shastri said, “I had a great time shooting this ad for CRED. I have played many roles on the field of cricket but working for this ad, in this avatar, was a refreshing experience. It is lovely to be associated with the CRED, which makes the simplest task of paying credit card bills on time rewarding.” 

Ayappa, Director of the  film, said “As Mr. Shastri said, a day with him is never dull. We had a great time shooting and exploring the wild side of his life. He was quite a sport, pun not intended. ”
