Adding to the excitement ahead of the world’s most-watched cricketing tournament, Star Sports and BCCI have unveiled the campaign #GameBanayegaName which focuses on VIVO IPL as a platform where one’s ‘Talent’ (Game) precedes one’s name.The film is conceptualized by Taproot Dentsu.

The VIVO IPL campaign, ‘Game Banayega Name’ is a great leveler and reflective of young and fearless India in every sphere.

This insight goes beyond cricket, talking to people who are brimming with confidence, skilled and are fearless in their approach to claim their space in the Sun.The TVC opens with a split screen battle between young players in a maidan on one side and established VIVO IPL stars on the other to grab screen space.

The TVC is set to a catchy song and is written by Puneet Sharma and Pallavi Chakravarti and composed by Sameer Uddin.
Commenting on the campaign Rahul Johri, CEO, BCCI said,“BCCI’s primary objective while launching the IPL in 2008 was to promote domestic talent. In the last 11 years, it has unearthed some extraordinary players who have been serving Indian cricket with distinction.
