Over the years, the brand has created unique doodles on trending topics from across the world. Be it on Virat Kohli’s outstanding performance at the ongoing T20 World Cup or Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan’s 80th birthday. The brand also poked fun at the French midfielder, Zinedine Zidane. The player was given a red card for headbutting the Italian defender Marco Materazzi during the 2006 World Cup match in Germany. In 2010, the brand made a topical on singer Shakira’s Waka Waka (This Time for Africa).
