Netflix has expanded its “Chill Like a Champion” campaign with a new film featuring Sunrisers Hyderabad. With IPL 2026 in progress, the collaboration has generated fresh buzz among fans and social media users, drawing attention to the team’s off field presence.
For those unaware, Netflix is the official entertainment partner of Sunrisers Hyderabad. The campaign focuses on how players relax after intense matches. It highlights their downtime by showing them engaging with streaming content in a light and entertaining manner.
The film features comedian Sunil Grover, who returns as his popular character Diamond Raja from The Great Indian Kapil Show. It begins with players unwinding after a match before shifting into an energetic and imaginative setting led by the character.
The narrative moves forward through a humorous and music driven sequence. It is built around a customised version of the song “Slowly Slowly,” adding a playful tone and enhancing the entertainment value of the campaign.
Popular Indian Premier League players such as Ishan Kishan, Abhishek Sharma, and Travis Head are part of the film. Their presence adds appeal and connects the campaign strongly with cricket fans during the ongoing IPL season.
The film also includes references to popular titles like Pushpa: The Rise and the Korean drama When Life Gives You Tangerines. These elements help blend cricket with entertainment, making the campaign more relatable for a wider audience.
This initiative is part of Netflix’s broader strategy to showcase cricketers beyond the field. It aims to connect sports audiences with entertainment platforms and extend engagement beyond live IPL matches.
