    Shubman Gill turns up the heat with Beats’ fiery ‘Burn Bright’ campaign

    MUMBAI: Gill’s got game, and now, he’s got Beats to match. Beats has unveiled its latest campaign, ‘Burn Bright’, starring Indian cricket sensation and brand ambassador Shubman Gill, alongside the brand’s flagship workout earbuds, Powerbeats pro 2.

    For Gill, training isn’t just routine, it’s ritual. “Training is where I build my game. It’s quiet, focused, and personal. Having the right sound with Beats helps me lock in and zone out the noise,” he said. “Beats isn’t just about music, it’s about bold energy and staying true to yourself. I’m proud to bring that spirit to this campaign.”

    The Powerbeats pro 2 are built with athletes in mind, boasting heart rate monitoring, active noise cancellation, transparency mode, adaptive EQ, and up to 45 hours of battery life with the case. They also support Qi wireless charging and come in four bold shades, jet black, quick sand, hyper purple, and electric orange, retailing at Rs 29,900 on apple.com/in.

    Beats, chief marketing officer, Chris Thorne said Gill embodies more than cricketing skill. “Shubman is more than just a cricket star. He represents a new generation of athletes who bring style, substance, and individuality to everything they do. This campaign is a celebration of his precision, passion, and the powerful role music plays in his mindset both on and off the pitch.”

    ‘Burn Bright’ is the latest in a series of global campaigns featuring sporting icons, joining a roster that already includes Lionel Messi, LeBron James, Erling Haaland, Kobbie Mainoo, Qinwen Zheng, and Lamine Yamal.

    With Gill fronting the campaign, Beats is betting that cricket’s rising flame will keep glowing, and burning bright.
