Selling point Ishant Sharma

Ishant Sharma says the rivalry and competition with Ricky Ponting is limited to the cricket field. “Off it we are friends and colleagues,” says Ishant, who in IPL was seen taking advice from team mate Ponting. Taking some time out of IPL, Ishant spared some time and joined the league of brand ambassadors.

Meridian Mobiles’ flagship brand Fly mobiles launched him as its latest brand ambassador. Ishant is the second endorser of the brand with Malaika Arora Khan already on board.

Ishant Sharma was chosen because of his youthful charm and flamboyance which the mobile company claims customers would find in their product too. Fly mobiles, launched in 2006, plans to spend Rs. 250 crore this year, with more focus on print ads. Grey Worldwide has been engaged to execute the campaigns. Ishant’s launch as the brand’s new face was accompanied by the launch of two new handsets, MC 100 and LX 610.
