New Delhi, 15th February 2025: adidas unveils the next chapter of its global brand campaign continuing its ambition to help disarm negative pressure in sport by highlighting the importance of positivity in helping athletes believe You Got This.

Featuring India’s most iconic cricket athletes, the campaign aims to motivate everyone to be a positive influence, as new global research uncovers that 4 in 5 athletes experience unhelpful sideline behaviors2, which can lead to them dropping out of sport. The new campaign is rooted in the universal truth that everyone needs someone to help make them believe You Got This, and aims to illustrate the importance of the relationships between athletes and positive influences from the sidelines.

Launching ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, the film features prominent Indian team players including Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Kuldeep Yadav, and Virat Kohli. Set against the soundtrack of “I’m Sticking With You”, reimagined by producer and musician, James Blake, the film embodies the lyrical sentiment of The Velvet Underground’s classic track, focusing on how relationships between people on the sidelines help some of the world’s greatest athletes overcome pressure.

Through this campaign, adidas unites voices from its trailblazing athlete family to inspire positive sideline behaviour, reinforcing how collective encouragement can reshape the game, shift narratives, and drive better outcomes for athletes. By demonstrating how positivity ripples from individuals to teams, communities, and cultures, the campaign urges the world of sport to in helping to make athletes believe You Got This.

The global study that underpins the campaign also uncovers the ‘Sideline Effect’, the positive and negative impact of behaviours on the sidelines.

Neelendra Singh, GM, adidas India, said: “At adidas, we have always been committed to standing by our athletes, both on and off the field. Recognizing that pressure is an inherent part of sports, our ‘You Got This’ campaign aims to help motivate everyone to be a positive influence on every pitch, track and court. Through this campaign, we aim to demonstrate the transformative power of someone’s positive gesture in turning self-doubt into self-belief to help athletes believe ‘You Got This’.”
