As a huge cricket and Stranger Things fan, this made my day! Perfect blend of two worlds. Although, I wish they'd released this promo a bit earlier to build more hype. Still, kudos to the team!

This is fun marketing. Shows how global pop culture is becoming. Rohit Sharma has a great screen presence. The locker room setting with him as the captain giving a pep talk is very relatable for sports fans.

Hilarious promo! "Teri fielding set hai" is such a classic cricket taunt used against Vecna. 😆 Only Rohit could pull this off. Now I'm imagining the Indian team taking on the Demogorgon.

Enjoyed the video, but respectfully, I feel these celebrity promos sometimes feel forced. Would have preferred a more integrated cameo in the actual show. But it's a nice try for fan service.
