As the ICC Cricket World Cup kicks off, India is all geared up for the event with bated breath. But the 2015 edition of the ICC Cricket World Cup comes with a catch. This year, the tournament is taking place in Australia and New Zealand and the matches are going to be broadcast starting between 3:30 am and 12 noon, India time. This would make it difficult for fans in India to catch the action live as cricket fans across the country will be stuck at colleges, offices, etc.

Lay's, as the Official Snack of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015, has taken up the challenge facing the cricket fans across the country. With their new advertising campaign titled 'Yeh Game Hi Hai... Taste Ka', Lay's talks about the various sticky situations, which come between the game of cricket world cup and the ardent fans. Watch how Ranbir Kapoor manages to mesmerize the villains who stand between him and the match with the great taste of Lay's to catch the match with his buddies.
As part of this exciting series, Lay's has now come up with a fresh new release. For the first time ever, the gorgeous Lisa Haydon would be sharing the screen with the charming Ranbir Kapoor. The two actors will play the mismatched players in the game of fun vs. stern. While Ranbir will play the goofy, carefree and smart employee who is an ardent cricket lover, Lisa will play the role of the ohh lala strict boss insisting on a mundane boardroom meeting while a cricket world cup match is in play.
In this tussle of the meeting vs. the match, the cool dude Ranbir manages to effortlessly hypnotize the boss with a Wristy Flick of the irresistible Lay's chip to get out of the meeting and enjoy the match with his colleagues.
Speaking about the ad film, Rajiv Mathrani, Director & Category Marketing Head-Snacks PepsiCo India, said, "The campaign is all about the great taste of Lay's coming together with the love for cricket that will help you get away from sticky situations and watch the match. This film, set in an office meeting, brings out a very relatable situation that many people are sure to experience. It would be interesting to watch Ranbir mesmerize Lisa, the boss with a 'Wristy Flick' of the delicious Lay's chip, to catch the match!"
Babita Barua, Senior Vice President, JWT, said, "The film, part of the Lay's World Cup Cricket campaign, shows the use of 'cricket lingo' in a fun, smart way with the irresistibility of Lay's, to get out of sticky situations and catch the live telecast. The chemistry between Ranbir and Lisa, in her role as the strict boss, is something to watch out for!"
