National, 15 April 2025: Cricket in India is more than just a sport, it’s a feeling that brings people together in every street, living room, and tea stall. From predicting what will happen next to debating umpiring decisions, every Indian sees themselves as an expert. Tapping into this passion, Britannia 5050 is back with Season 2 of its much-loved 5050 4th Umpire campaign. This time, the action moves to a brand-new digital home – 5050Cricket.in, an exciting platform where fans can enjoy cricket entertainment and put their instincts to the test.
Conceptualized by Schbang, the Britannia 5050 4th Umpire lets fans step into the shoes of an umpire, as they watch unique match situations and predict what happens next. Correct predictions unlock exciting rewards like match tickets, cashback and more. The campaign’s new TVCs bring this idea to life with a fun twist — showing everyday people making umpiring decisions in places like train compartments or even deciding who got the kite first in a neighbourhood squabble – because “Ab India Mein Har Koi Banega Umpire.” After all, in a country where everyone has an opinion on the game, the umpire isn’t just on the pitch, it’s in all of us.
Siddharth Gupta, General Manager, Marketing, Britannia, said: Cricket has always been an emotion in India, and every fan has an opinion, a prediction, a point of view.

We are quite engaged as a community and that’s part of our beauty. We brought a human insight, our love for cricket and the brand’s positioning, together with the digital insight of initiating second screen engagement during this cricket season – to bring alive the Britannia 5050 4th Umpire Digital Game and campaign.
