NEW DELHI: Garvit, the Virat Kohli look-alike who shot to social media fame after a brief interaction with the Indian batting great during a Team India training session ahead of the home ODI series against New Zealand in January, has now landed a spot in a high-profile advertising campaign.

India's lead sponsor Apollo Tyres recently released a new film as part of its campaign titled Har Safar Mein Dum Hai. The film features Sachin Tendulkar along with current India stars Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill and Arshdeep Singh, all shown in national colours.

The campaign traces the journeys of these cricketers from their early childhood days to representing India at the highest level. Garvit also appears in the film, depicted as a young aspiring cricketer riding a scooter with his father, cricket kit slung over his shoulders - a symbolic nod to every dreamer's journey.

Set to AR Rahman's iconic Maa Tujhe Salaam, the film has been directed by noted filmmaker Abhinay Deo, adding cinematic depth to the celebratory narrative.

Speaking about the film, Devajit Saikia, Secretary, The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), said, "This film authentically captures the spirit of Indian cricket. It reflects the hard work, sacrifice and endurance required to represent the country at the highest level."

"This campaign reflects a core belief at Apollo Tyres that excellence is built through resilience, discipline and consistency," said Neeraj Kanwar, Vice Chairman and Managing Director, Apollo Tyres Ltd. "Har Safar Mein Dum Hai is our tribute to the Indian spirit, and to the unyielding commitment it takes to be the best at what you do."

Notably, the assignment for India ahead is the ICC T20 World Cup, and they are a part of Group A with arch-rivals Pakistan, Namibia, the Netherlands and the USA and will start their campaign against the USA in Mumbai on February 7.
