The TVC starts off with a catchy Punjabi ‘dhol’ beat representing Lahore’s culture, the beat gains a strong rhythm by the end of the ad. Young boys, girls in ‘parandas’, and older men are all seen on the crowded, narrow streets enjoying themselves and playing cricket. The ad ends showcasing the Lahore Qalandar squad, donning the signature LQ t-shirts.
