The commercial has garnered mixed reactions from the fans as many have praised the chemistry between Kohli and Pant while quite a number of fans have made fun of it. And England star Stuart Broad is also one of the many who are not too impressed by the commercial. The veteran pacer, who is a popular figure on the social media, took a sly dig at Kohli and Pant for the commercial.
Broad took to Twitter to suggest the names of some better alternatives for Himalaya Drug Company to hire for its products. He tweeted the names of teammates Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes, writing,
“I genuinely believe @josbuttler & @benstokes38 would be excellent ambassadors for this brand. Please contact @phoenixmg3. ????”
