Pepsi drops Ganguly, Dravid, signs Ishant and Rohit

The misfortune of senior cricketers Rahul Dravid and Saurav Ganguly continues. After the unceremonious exit from the Indian ODI squad, they got another shocker, as Soft Drinks major Pepsi dropped them as Brand Ambassadors. The company has roped in youngsters Ishant Sharma and Rohit Sharma. Pepsi is tightlipped on Sachin Tendulkar's association with the company. Sachin has been Pepsi's brand ambassador for many years.

According to Pepsi sources, Ganguly and Dravid no longer fit into their scheme. Rohit Sharma and Ishant Sharma have been chosen because of their attitude and aggression. Both youngsters are now part of Pepsi's new campaign for 2008, 'Yeh hai Youngistaan Meri Jaan'.
