Time of India22-04-2025

Boat
, India's audio and wearables brand, has rolled out an all-new campaign titled 'Real Se Bhi Clear', showcasing its
Aavante soundbar range
.
The campaign kicks off with a high-energy film featuring cricketer Virat Kohli, Liam Livingstone, and
Krunal Pandya
in an immersive sound-first narrative that underlines how game-defining moments become unmistakably clear with Boat's sound technology.
This partnership and campaign underscore Boat's continued commitment to bringing fans closer to the game, blending cutting-edge technology with the passion and energy of cricket.
With the Aavante Soundbar range, Boat aims to recreate the thrill of the stadium right in people's living rooms. The brand wants fans to feel like they're part of the action — whether it's the roar of the crowd, the crack of the bat, or the tension of a close chase, the soundbar elevates the home
cricket viewing experience
to new heights.
Vedansh Kumar, head of brand marketing, Boat, said, 'With the 'Real Se Bhi Clear' campaign, we're making sure fans can feel every snick, every sledge, and every six as if they were right there in the stadium. We're here to turn up the volume on fandom.'
The makers of the ad conceptualised by Talented, Reya Reji and Nasreen Talukdar, creative and brand strategy from the agency said, "The 'Real Se Bhi Clear' campaign celebrates the game through powerful sonic storytelling centered around fan culture and product superiority. The focus was to reignite love for the sound of cricket and get fans to transition from mute-viewing to excitement-packed sound-on viewing.'
'
IPL campaigns
often follow a familiar pattern—players front and center, high-energy visuals, and amplified noise. With Boat's expertise in audio, we saw an opportunity to tell a smarter story. By making sound, the hero, we broke away from the conventional, creating a campaign that fans didn't just watch—they heard and remembered,' they added.
Kunal Pardeshi, director, said, "We weren't just making a film for Boat, we were building a sound mnemonic that stays with cricket fans for eternity. Talented had already scripted a winner. Bringing the 'tock-tock' to life was hilarious and oddly satisfying. And
Richard Illingworth
in his ad debut? Absolute sport.'

Kohlis aggression, Hardiks resilience inspiring young TT player Ankur

Ahmedabad, Jun 2 (PTI) An ardent fan of Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya, rising Indian paddler Ankur Bhattacharjee once aspired to be a cricketer before shifting to table tennis, but his love for cricket still remains. The 18-year-old is big admirer of Kohli's aggression and Hardik's mental strength and wants to imbibe those qualities into his game. "There is a lot of aggression in my game, so I admire Virat Kohli sir's aggressive attitude. I also love Hardik Pandya sir's mental strength. I follow both a lot and try to bring their qualities into my game," Ankur told PTI. Despite turning pro in table tennis, his love for cricket still remains and he doesn't miss a single India match. But after taking up table tennis, his only goal was to fulfil his parents' dream. "I love cricket a lot and try not to miss a single India match. I wanted to be a cricketer but my father and mother both were table tennis players and they are my personal coach too," Ankur said. "My mother pressured me by saying everyone plays cricket, you play table tennis. Then I started playing and I loved it. "Both my father (Angshuman Bhattacharjee) and mother (Kuntali Bhattacharjee) were national level players." Ankur is currently participating in the sixth season of the Ultimate Table Tennis League for Kolkata Thunder Blades. "This year I feel our team is stronger than last year. My form is also better than last year, so I feel we can win the title this year," he said. "UTT is a big platform for youngsters, I feel more such tournaments like UTT should happen. Like last year before playing UTT my India ranking was out of 10, but now I am India ranking 2 in singles. "I have just returned after playing World Championships and had a decent performance there." Ankur had already stamped his authority at the junior level, having won the under-19 boys singles title at the Youth National Championships for three years in a row. He has also won three consecutive bronze medals at the Junior Asian Championships. "I played 6 tournaments at youth level this year and won all of them. This is my first year at senior level and till now I feel I am performing well but I need to take this to the next level," he said. Just like any other athlete, Ankur's target is to finish on the podium in big international tournaments in future. "Just came back after playing World Championships, so the next target is to win a medal for India at Asian Championships in Bhubaneswar this year," he said. "Just like everyone, my future goal is to win Olympic gold but it is easier said than done. I am not thinking about it now. I am taking one step at a time." Besides being a table tennis player, Ankur also writes poems in Bengali, a quality which he got from his grandfather. "I used to write a lot earlier and even written for some books as well. I got inspired to write from my grandfather who was a poet. Now I don't get much time to write but do try as and when I can," he said.

Cricket, connections & courtship: How Rinku Singh met SP MP Priya Saroj

LUCKNOW: Cricketer Rinku Singh and Samajwadi Party MP Priya Saroj first crossed paths through one of Priya's friend's father, who is also a cricketer. The connection eventually blossomed into a relationship, supported by both families. According to Priya's father, Tufani Saroj, SP MLA from Kerakat in Jaunpur, the two had known each other for some time before formally announcing their intent to marry. The couple's engagement is scheduled for June 8 in Lucknow, followed by a wedding ceremony on November 18 at Hotel Taj in Varanasi (Kashi). Confirming the dates, Tufani Saroj said on Sunday that preparations are already underway to host grand celebrations. Prominent political leaders, especially from the Samajwadi Party, along with cricket stars, film personalities, and industrialists are expected to attend the events. In January, Tufani Saroj publicly announced the upcoming marriage between his daughter and the T20 cricket sensation after the two families held initial discussions to formalise the alliance. Like Rinku, who rose to fame by smashing five sixes in the final over during an IPL 2023 match against Gujarat Titans—completing the highest-ever last-over chase of 29 runs for Kolkata Knight Riders—Priya too had a spectacular rise. She became one of the youngest parliamentarians in the country by winning the 2024 Lok Sabha election from Machhlishahr (reserved), a constituency previously represented three times by her father before he shifted to contest from the Kerakat assembly seat in 2022. With Rinku focusing on the T20 series against England and the IPL, and Priya involved in her political campaign, both families agreed to decide the wedding dates only after the couple could sit together post-elections and tournaments. Now, with the dates set, the families are preparing to celebrate the union of two rising stars in cricket and politics.
