Mumbai, May, 6, 2026: Joy Personal Care, the Indian home-grown brand under the aegis of RSH Global, has unveiled its latest campaign in partnership with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), marking a significant five-year milestone in an association that has evolved into a deep, enduring collaboration. Rooted in the shared values of grit, discipline, and everyday hustle, the campaign draws a parallel between cricket and daily life, using the scale and cultural energy of the IPL to build a deeper, more authentic connection with audiences.
Featuring KKR players Ajinkya Rahane, Rinku Singh, and Manish Pandey, the film brings together moments from stadiums, practice nets, gully cricket, and everyday work life in the city. The narrative moves seamlessly between high-energy match moments and quieter, relatable scenes, capturing a simple yet powerful truth — life, much like cricket, is an ongoing match filled with challenges, resilience, and the drive to keep showing up.
Inspired by active lifestyle insights, the brand has introduced a limited-edition Joy x KKR sunscreen, co-created for KKR players, influencers, and fan communities.
Speaking about the campaign Mr. Sunil Agarwal, Co-founder and Chairman of Joy Personal Care (RSH Global), said: “Stepping into our fifth year with KKR marks a meaningful milestone in a partnership that has evolved through real engagement with players, fans, and communities around the sport. As a celebration of this journey, we are introducing a special edition product shaped by these insights, making it a seamless extension of the association. Our campaign ‘Under the Same Sun’, inspired by ‘Life’s a Pitch!’, a widely relatable metaphor, enables us to position the brand at the intersection of sport, performance, and everyday routines, driving stronger cultural relevance and long-term growth.”
Adding to this, Ms. Poulomi Roy, Chief Marketing Officer of Joy Personal Care (RSH Global), remarked: “Life’s a Pitch!’ captures the cultural and emotional pulse of the game while reflecting our evolution as a brand from visibility to credibility. With Joy Personal Care and KKR sharing a long-standing association, our ‘Under The Same Sun’ campaign is built on a unifying idea that seamlessly connects cricket, outdoor life, everyday people, and fans through a shared experience. By leveraging insights gained through this partnership, we have crafted a narrative that feels authentic, relatable, and highly relevant to our consumers.”
Venky Mysore, Chief Executive Officer of Kolkata Knight Riders, added: “Our association with Joy Personal Care has strengthened with each passing year, and this phase is particularly meaningful. It reflects a bond built on trust and shared values. The campaign captures how cricket extends beyond the field, touching people across cities and communities. We are proud to continue this collaboration for the fifth consecutive year, using the platform of the IPL to celebrate the spirit of the game and inspire people to show up and perform, no matter the pitch.”
The film will be amplified through a robust multi-layered approach across television, digital platforms, influencer collaborations, and social media engagement.
