Some latest updates are that Sachin is being removed from the Sunfeast ad. They are banking on their Shah Rukh ad instead. Reebok is no more airing their ad with the cricketers and are moving on to basket ball players. Reebok comments that Indian players have lost their mass appeal!! How under-estimating the emotional tide that is gripping India??
Pepsi also is pulling off their "Ladega to Jeetaga" ad. Again they too are banking on SRK. As the generic rule....someone's loss- other's gain!! Poor Saurav after months of no activity was beginning to earn some bucks through Puma Sports but ah...luck evades him too...
Biggest loser in the game...Sony Entertainment Television!!! Poor things...Their viewership drop is going to cost them 150 crores...
And the lucky and smart one of the lot is none other than Hutch...They just had a Chalo World Cup ad with Rahul Dravid that was more of a pre - World Cup ad! For further info on how the corporates thought of utilizing this oppurtunity check this.

Are Indians born to lose?
You can expect lot of changes to take place in the team during the next month's meeting. Its a huge setback, both for cricketers, who will be booted out of endorsements, and of course the fans.:)
You write very well.
