Watch Dwayne Bravo and Chris Gayle recreate the hit 'Champion' for condom ad

The video with the message "Why be a player when you could be a champion" is also quite stereotypical.

"Why be a player when you could be a champion".

That's the message cricketers Dwayne "DJ" Bravo and Chris Gayle give as they recreate the very popular "Champion" song for condom brand Skore. 

The sports stars had been roped in by Skore in August to promote their newly launched range "Champions". 

Bravo's original track, launched before the T20 World Cup 2016, had sort of become an anthem for West Indies during the tournament. 

"Everyone deserves to have some fun but it's even more important to be responsible. That is what a real champion does. I am excited to be able to encourage others to do just that by recreating Champion for Skore along with Chris," Bravo said

While the catchy track urges people to be responsible when "having fun" (somehow, ads for condoms never have the word sex in them), the video is quite stereotypical. It features women dressed as sultry cops, nurses, air hostesses, cheerleaders with pompoms and exotic looking women straight out of an 80's Bollywood movie, dancing around the two.
