Google has girdled up for the cricket fever in the air during the ICC's World Cup Twenty 20, with cricket search features on its Google app. It has now gone to town with an advertising campaign devised by Lowe Lintas Delhi, to promote the app.

In one film, cricket buffs discuss scores at a grocery store and an update comes from a customer operating the Google app on his mobile phone. In the second film, a child's hand-painted cricket jersey is ruined in the rain. Then Google comes to the father's rescue and gives him multiple options for buying a jersey for his son for an upcoming match. The father uses the app to buy an authentic cricket jersey, to replace the home-made one.

The commercials hone on the fact that cricket lovers could easily get answers to questions on cricket through the Google App -  from score updates to schedules, from cricket gear to trivia.Commenting on the campaign, Sapna Chadha, Head of Marketing, Google India, said, “Being away from the action can be frustrating, but from today you'll never have to miss another moment with the launch of new cricket experiences on the Google app.”
