An Indian T20 League promotional video, featuring MS Dhoni, has been subjected to a controversy, and the Advertising Standards Council of India has asked the Indian T20 League to withdraw the advertisement. As per a report in TOI, a road safety organization has lodged a complaint with regards to the advertisement. As per the complaint, the promo is glorifying violation of traffic rules.

In the video, MS Dhoni can be seen driving a bus. While driving, he suddenly stops the bus to leave the passengers in discomfort. Seconds later, all the people in the video found themselves watching a super over of an Indian T20 League match. Later, a traffic policeman also arrives at the scene and questions Dhoni’s actions, to which he says that they are watching ‘ Super Over’ of an Indian T20 League match. The traffic policemen don’t really mind that lot and continue with his drive.
Here's the video:

The advertisement didn’t go down too well with the Consumer Unit and Trust Society, which filed a complaint to withdraw it. The members of ASCI later watched it and found violation of its code and asked the advertisement company to either modify it or completely withdraw it by 20th April 2022.
Meanwhile, the 15th edition of the Indian T20 league 2022 has begun and 14 matches have been conducted so far. Kolkata are currently sitting at the top of the points table, having managed to register 3 wins out for 4. Rajasthan and Gujarat are at second and third respectively, having won two games each.
Two of the most successful teams in the Indian T20 League history, Chennai and Mumbai are yet to win a game in the tournament. Both have played three games each so far.
