MUMBAI: Ahead of the commencement of the first clash in the 3-match Test series of India’s tour to South Africa, official broadcaster Star Sports has launched its promo #FirstKaThirst, driving the narrative of the series with its viewers and fans.
Action from the first Test starting on Boxing Day, December 26th, will be LIVE & Exclusive on the Star Sports Network from 1.30 PM.
The film, created and conceptualised by the in-house team at Star India, showcases former Team India coach Ravi Shastri cooking himself a meal and explaining the endeavour and mission of the touring Indian team. The Indian legend throws his weight behind Virat Kohli and Co., citing a fabled example of his Test series win against Australia Down Under.
Speaking about the promo, Sanjog Gupta, head – Sports, Star and Disney India, said: “The Indian cricket team has had a remarkable run in Test Cricket, remaining dominant at home and registering wins all over the world. However, a first-ever series win in South Africa has remained elusive. #FirstKaThirst is a call to action for Indian fans, who desire to see this Indian team create history by triumphing in South Africa and is a continuing chapter of our #BelieveinBlue narrative. The series also assumes historic significance as it marks 30 years of Cricket between India and South Africa adding to the sense of occasion for this marquee series.”
