The United Breweries group yesterday decided to do away with the controversial advertisement that showed Team India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni 'mocking' at a Harbhajan Singh look-alike.

This came immediately after the off-spinner's mother served a legal notice to the UB group owned by Dr Vijay Mallya.

In statement, the UB Group said that it has taken a decision to replace the ad "in the interest of the game of cricket".

This gesture (to replace the ad) of Dr Mallya is based on the larger national cricketing interests, particularly at time when the Indian Team is engaged in a crucial cricket test series in the United Kingdom," the statement said.
