Kohli mocks Rohit’s ‘woh’ habit in viral JioStar ad
Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma feature in a new JioStar advertisement that shows Kohli teasing Rohit about his habit of saying 'woh'. The duo also mimic trademark celebrations of teammates KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja and Shubman Gill, with Rohit performing Rahul's Kantara-inspired celebration and Kohli using a sword gesture for Jadeja.
The ad ends with a message looking ahead to the ICC ODI World Cup 2027. It follows India's 2-1 ODI series win against the West Indies. ABP Live reports Kohli scored an unbeaten 139 off 88 balls in the series, reaching 15,000 ODI runs, and Rohit scored 101 off 75 balls. The two are set to play a five-match ODI series against New Zealand, and Deccan Chronicle reports they will also feature in the ODI series against Sri Lanka starting 13 December.
Indian Opinion Analysis
ABP Live leads the story with the ad's humour and Kohli's batting milestone, while Deccan Chronicle frames it around the upbeat World Cup buildup and the Sri Lanka series date. Both outlets present the ad as a light-hearted promotional film, there is no disagreement on facts. The neutral reporting leaves no frame to adjudicate: the coverage is uniform wire-style reporting of a commercial release and recent cricketing performances. The only concrete next step is the Sri Lanka ODI series beginning 13 December.
