Several other Facebook users shared<\/a> the video with the same claim. It is, in fact, been circulating<\/a> on the platform with the narrative since 2010.<\/p>\n

Senior cricket commentator Ayaz Memon tweeted<\/a> the video with identical claim back in April 2018. He failed to delete the tweet after acknowledging<\/a> that it’s manufactured.<\/p>\n

FACT-CHECK<\/h2>\n

A Google search revealed that the video is an advertisement by the Beijing office of advertising agency J. Walter Thompson (JWT<\/a>) for the Nokia N96 limited edition Bruce Lee cell phone in 2008. As seen in the clip<\/a> below, it’s a digital creation, not a recording of an original match.<\/p>\n
