Players and Advertisements..

The poor performance by the Indian players have bowled them out of the ads. Yeah, most of the companies are expressing their dissapointments over the game the players played in WI. Companies like Videocon, Pepsi, Sansui are among the top ones who had an all exclusive multi-crore world cup ad campaigns. Some reactions..

Videocon promotions will not feature Dravid and Dhoni for the time.

Dravid may or may not lead the Indian team but Sansui defenately plans to sack his captaincy.

Pepsi had to close down 'Ladega to Jeetega' ads, coz their tigers have done everything but 'Ladega'.

Some other cos take it differently. Exide says that they wont go by the performance of Dhoni for such a short period and they will continue to have him as their brand ambasaddor till November 07, when the 2 yr contract expires. Exide was the first company to sign Dhoni, in 2005 - even before he made it to the Indian team.
Sunfeast too backs up the 'har ghar mein Sachin' campaign.

There have been cases where ppl from an area have taken a oath! yeah oath that they will not buy any of the products endoresed by the Indian cricketers.

Common this act is just not done.
