Situation –
1. Women’s Cricket has been around for many years. while it has seen growth in recent years, it has never been given the opportunity and platform like the Men’s Cricket in India.
2. WPL is a historic moment for Women's Cricket in India as one of the biggest cricketing boards announced a Women's league.
Execution
The arrival of the Women’s Premier League on the Indian cricket scene
would change the game forever and level the playing field.
It also meant the ad campaign had to do justice to this historic event and
celebrate it.
The campaign brought to life the beginning of this new era - a world
captivated by her game, her skill, and its intensity, oblivious of her gender.
A world where our gullies (lanes), parks, and maidans (grounds) were
owned as much by our girls as our boys. Where the older generation
cheered on the younger generation of uninhibited female players. A world
where the gentleman’s game was finally gender-neutral.
The campaign celebrated the spirit of the game, rather than an appeal for
change. Because the change is already here.
Upbeat modern trap music coupled with powerful and memorable lyrics
came together to conjure the explosive game our girls were bringing.
