Is India’s Cricket Captain & Anushka Sharma’s Husband Virat Kohli Quitting PNB’s Endorsement?

The latest scam of Punjab National Bank has put the Indian cricket skipper Virat Kohli on the back foot. Virat Kohli, who is the brand ambassador of PNB, is planning to discontinue his association with Punjab National Bank. At least, that’s what whispers in the cricketing circles suggest. A thought of breaking his ties with the brand has crossed the skipper’s mind while he is in South Africa playing the ODIs and T20s.

A source close to Virat has told us, “For a few days now, Punjab National Bank’s scam has grabbed headlines and it’s obvious that Virat who is the face of the brand feels that he should walk away from them.”

“Like any other celebrity, even Virat would not like to be a face of the brand which has been in negative light. Even MS Dhoni who was the brand ambassador of the high profile Amrapali Group, snapped his ties after the brand was accused of delays in construction projects and several other complaints,” the source added.

Coming back to Virat, he was appointed as the face of the brand in 2016. “Today PNB is seen as a complete universal bank. Virat Kohli, an energetic young sportsman having mass appeal to the youth of our country has been chosen as the brand ambassador who comes with qualities like determination, focus and for whom winning is a habit," read the release that the bank had sent across back then.

Only time will tell if Virat will really disassociate himself with the brand!
