The legendary cricketer’s famous 175 not out versus Zimbabwe, during the 1983 Cricket World Cup, never made it to the screens due to a strike by the broadcasters that day. It is one of the best one-day innings ever. The brand unveiled a film using immersive technology, it recreated Dev’s unrecorded innings. The film was conceptualised and created by Leo Burnett India, and produced by Prodigious India.
