Commenting on the campaign, Samar Singh Sheikhawat, Chief Marketing Officer, United Breweries Limited, said “For years, Kingfisher has been a catalyst in bringing rival teams together with a fun element off the fields to establish the brands campaign line for the IPL, “Divided by teams, united by Kingfisher”. We also give fans access to the players with our on-ground promotions getting them closer to their sports idols. This year around, the campaign focuses on showing fans the humorous personalities of the teams where they pull pranks on each other in good sporting spirit.”

As part of the campaign, KIXP batsman Chris Gayle pranked his teammate KL Rahul on his 26th birthday. Through a cut-out in the table, Chris Gayle presented his head as the birthday cake decorated with fruits.

Commenting on the campaign and his recent birthday celebrations, KL Rahul, Kings XI Punjab, Batsman and Wicket Keeper, said: “Pulling pranks is one of the most fun element about being part of a team, I have pulled a couple of pranks on my fellow teammates as well. Kingfisher’s latest campaign – The “Indian Prank League” reflects the spirit of camaraderie and The Good times, exactly how we keep it on the grounds during our practice sessions, we all are always seen having a jovial time. My top Indian Prank league moment this season was on my birthday, pulled off by my fellow teammates.  Its small moments like these which creates memories and keeps the spirit of good time going.”
