The Indian Men’s Cricket Team Captain, Rohit Sharma was signed as LaLiga’s first-ever Brand Ambassador in India in 2019. He became the first non-footballer in the history of the league to have become a LaLiga Ambassador. Fondly called ‘Hitman’ by his fans, Sharma embodies the virtues that LaLiga stands for like excellence, teamwork, authenticity, respect, commitment, and passion. Through the #HitmanAtHome campaign, fans can explore their love for football and get the chance to connect with their favorite cricketer through it.
In the 2+ years since he came on board, LaLiga has worked with the Hitman to further catapult the popularity of football in India as the sport is gaining increasing momentum. After inking the partnership deal in December 2019, Sharma visited Madrid to watch the most famous football rivalry, El Clasico, right before the pandemic, in March 2020. He has also been working with the Spanish top-flight league in front of and behind the scenes on promoting the sport and increasing accessibility for it across different parts of the nation.
