"Now, this is interesting. OPPO is teaming up with the ever amazing MS Dhoni to inspire millions of people to achieve their dreams and follow their passion as part of its #BeTheInfinite campaign. Dedication, hard work, and will power is all that it takes to achieve one's dreams," wrote another.
"I don't have issues if someone is being a brand ambassador for a Chinese brand. Dhoni is getting money not giving it to China. Most smartphones are bought by youngsters according to features not who endorses them unless it's a new company. I was also in favour of Vivo IPL," another user wrote.
