5 successful Indian cricketers who were rarely seen in TV ads

#4 Gautam Gambhir

The left-handed opening batsman who proved to be one of the pillars of the Test team that rose to the top of the Test rankings under MS Dhoni's captaincy and a hero of the World Cup final was another player who was conspicuously absent during advertising breaks for most of his career.

Gautam Gambhir might have seen at some points with the rest of the Indian team or the IPL teams he represented in a TV commercial or two but he was never a fixture during advertising breaks.

Now Gambhir was nothing short of a star in his own right and advertising executives must have been queueing up for his signature for ad campaigns, but it seems he was a reluctant to do those shoots.

On the other hand, his intense and no-nonsense character might have also been a reason behind his refusal to do many TV ads. We can only speculate about the reason but it is positively bizarre that Gambhir was so rarely seen in TV ads.
