Watch: MS Dhoni brings the cool in dettol’s icy cool summer campaign

Dettol has initiated a new summer campaign for its Icy Cool hygiene line, signing up cricket legend Mahendra Singh Dhoni as brand ambassador. Dubbed "Captain Cool," Dhoni is a perfect fit for the campaign's message: staying cool under pressure both physically and mentally can improve performance in any context.

Developed by McCann Worldgroup, the campaign communicates Dettol Icy Cool's guarantee of freshness and safeguarding during India's scorching summer. Whether you're preparing for a nail-biting cricket match or exams, the word is out: "Body cool toh mind cool. aur game ho ya exam. performance cool!"

The campaign movie begins with a young cricketer experiencing the heat both literally and metaphorically on the sidelines of an intense match. When he glances towards a poster of Dhoni for inspiration, Dhoni himself emerges in a stylized succession and offers him Dettol Icy Cool, representing composure, concentration, and self-belief.

Dhoni spoke about his excitement for the collaboration: "Staying cool in a heated situation is always part of my.life style. Dettol Icy Cool is the solution to just that when your body feels cool, your mind will be cool as well."
