Picture this: Virat Kohli, the undisputed king of modern cricket, flips a Bisleri bottle… and misses. Now, in any normal universe, we’d all just move on. But this is India, and the internet is never normal. Instead of trolling Kohli (because let’s be honest, the man has carried Indian cricket on his back for years), fans have turned their fury towards an unexpected villain—Bisleri’s bottle design. Yep. The debate isn’t about skill, physics, or even Kohli’s wrist action. It’s about whether Bisleri robbed us of a legendary bottle flip moment. And now, things have escalated.
The Internet Wants Bisleri to Redeem Itself
The people have spoken, and they want one thing: a new and improved Bisleri bottle.
Not for hydration. Not for sustainability. But for redemption.
Because if Kohli—Virat Freaking Kohli—can’t flip your bottle, maybe the problem isn’t him. Maybe it’s you.
This is where Bisleri has a golden (or should we say, blue and transparent) opportunity.
The Ultimate Moment Marketing Play
Imagine if Bisleri actually leans into the madness:
Step 1: Release a statement: “We hear you, India. Our bottles shall flip. Challenge accepted.”
Step 2: Drop a ‘Bisleri Flip Challenge’ where fans try the flip and tag Bisleri to prove it can be done.
Step 3: Bonus Round: Redesign the bottle slightly, call it “Kohli Edition” (without paying him a single rupee), and watch sales skyrocket.
And just when you thought this couldn’t get any wilder…
Tanmay Bhat Just Entered the Chat
Tanmay Bhat, one of India’s sharpest ad minds (and meme connoisseurs), just posted about this. Which means the idea is already brewing in the ad world.
Translation? Bisleri has minutes to move before someone else steals this playbook.
Will Bisleri Fumble or Flip?
The internet has delivered Bisleri a once-in-a-lifetime marketing moment on a silver (or should we say plastic) platter.
All they have to do is pick it up.
Or better yet… flip it.
