MLB x Suryakumar Yadav
Major League Baseball appointed Indian cricket star Suryakumar Yadav as an ambassador, using his reach and the shared language of bat-and-ball sports to introduce baseball to Indian fans. He will attend MLB All-Star Week, create localised content and take part in events across India and the US.
Why it worked: It piggybacked on Suryakumar’s fresh World Cup-winning halo and paired it with a concrete distribution switch—renewed JioStar broadcasts.
The lesson: Consider borrowing a nation’s hottest winner to front a category bridge, timed to a distribution expansion your pitch can announce.
