Cricket and pizza—two of India's greatest passions—come together in a deliciously thrilling collaboration as Oven Story joins hands with rising cricket star Abhishek Sharma for IPL 2025. This season, cricket fans can indulge in the all-new 2X Cheesy Pizzas while taking part in an interactive challenge that could score them free pizzas for a whole year!
The highlight of this campaign is the innovative cricket-themed packaging, which transforms a pizza box into a mini cricket field, allowing fans to try their hand at the Six Sixes Challenge. If they manage to hit six sixes in a row, they stand a chance to win free pizzas for an entire year.
Oven Story has brought in Abhishek Sharma, known for his fearless batting and explosive sixes, to add an electrifying edge to the campaign. The young cricketer features in a fun-filled Instagram video where he gears up to smash six sixes, only to find himself playing on the innovative pizza box instead. His passion and energy make him the perfect face for this exciting initiative.
Nishant Kedia, Chief Marketing Officer at Rebel Foods, shared his enthusiasm about the campaign: "At Oven Story, we believe great food should come with great experiences. With our 2X Cheesy Pizzas and interactive packaging, we’re ensuring cricket fans have an extra reason to celebrate this IPL season. And the opportunity to win free pizzas for a year? That’s the ultimate bonus!"
Speaking about the collaboration, cricketer Abhishek Sharma said, "IPL is all about high-energy moments, massive hits, and unmatched excitement—just like Oven Story’s pizzas! I love how this campaign merges cricket and food in such a fun and engaging way. I can't wait to see fans take on the Six Sixes Challenge!"
The challenge is simple—cricket lovers must record themselves hitting six consecutive sixes, post the video on Instagram, and tag @OvenStoryPizza. Winners will be rewarded with free pizzas for an entire year, making it the ultimate prize for cricket and food lovers alike!
With a mouthwatering product, interactive packaging, a dynamic cricket collaboration featuring Abhishek Sharma, and an engaging contest, Oven Story is all set to make IPL 2025 the cheesiest and most exciting season yet!

ButterBrews has opened its new outlet in Aundh, marking its largest format café so far. The new space has been designed as an everyday destination, bringing together a comfortable layout, a strong all-day menu, and a clear focus on coffee.
The café has been planned with multiple zones to suit different preferences. It includes an indoor seating area, a non-smoking outdoor section with an amphitheatre-style setup, and a separate smoking zone placed away from the main space to ensure a smooth and relaxed experience for all guests.
The menu offers a premium all-day selection built around fresh ingredients. Guests can choose from breakfast options, healthy bowls, wholesome meals, and vegan dishes, making it suitable for different tastes and dining needs throughout the day.
Coffee continues to be at the heart of the ButterBrews experience. The café uses 100 percent Arabica beans and serves both house blends and manually brewed coffees. It also features guest roasters like Tulum Coffee Roasters and Ground Zero Coffee Roasters, adding variety to its coffee offerings.
Desserts and baked items are prepared in-house at ButterBrews’ bakehouse. Popular choices include the Basque cheesecake and cinnamon rolls, which have already become favourites among guests.
Commenting on the opening, Harsh Agarwal, Co-founder, ButterBrews, said, “ButterBrews, Aundh is our largest format cafe yet. We have built a stronger indoor experience and created clear zones across the cafe so guests can settle in the way they like. We want this to be an address people can count on through the week.”
Umang Bhimrajka, Co-founder, ButterBrews, added, “For us, coffee has always been non-negotiable. With 100 percent Arabica beans, house espresso coffees and manual brews that rotate speciality roasters, we are bringing a program that balances familiarity with discovery. Alongside that, the all-day menu and our bakehouse desserts complete the experience we want to offer Aundh.”
