Football and Pakistan's favorite obsession, cricket, have finally come together with sporting legends Lionel Messi and Wasim Akram appearing in an ad together for the first time ever.

The two stars are seen in the latest Lays ad, unveiling the brand's newest flavour, yogurt & herb. The playful ad features Messi walking on a cobbled street munching away on his bag of chips, when a street painter calls the footballer to sit for a portrait and steals all his chips.
