Now wasn’t that innovative and exciting just like what Nissan stands for – Innovation that Excites! I mean who wouldn’t be surprised to play with a legend from the Indian Cricket Team? How often does your morning walk/jog turns into an encounter with a real life star. The exhilaration to play with Irfan was beyond age groups and gender.

These are really the #MomentsThatCount and it’s great to see Nissan already doing so much for fans. Frankly, I can’t wait to be a part of the fan engagement and activities Nissan will be doing throughout.
