Taking the World Cup fever a notch higher, a 23-day long multi-tier tournament National Fantasy Cricket Championship (NFCC) will be hosted on BalleBaazi starting from on the 23 October. The grand finale will be held on the same day as the final T20 World Cup match, 14 November, where 11 Fantasy Cricket Champions will be crowned who will meet the World Cup 2011 hero, Zaheer Khan, and first on the podium will WIN the championship trophy and a free trip to the Mecca of Cricket, Lord’s, England. The ten other India’s best fantasy sports champions will take home a golden bat along with daily and exclusive leaderboard cash prizes.
The NFCC will have a total of 33 matches, with the first 30 being qualifiers chances one, two and three followed by the quarter finals, semis, and the grand finale.
Sharing his thoughts BalleBaazi co-founder and CEO Saurabh Chopra said, “NFCC is all about “for the fans, by the fans.” It’s about giving the greatest fans of the game their “Dare to Dream” moment, a chance to lift the Championship Trophy alongside the T20 World Cup-winning team. The concept has been kept absolutely free of cost since its idea is to recognize fantasy sports beyond the means to make money and perceive it as a game of skill and honor.”
BalleBaazi recently introduced ace cricketer Zaheer Khan as the brand ambassador. With this association, Khan will spearhead the company’s campaigns and special tournaments, exhibiting the skills required for playing and excelling in online fantasy sports (OFS).
Additionally, Astro Pay and FHMax have come together to promote and encourage NFCC as the official wallet and e-commerce fashion partner cum sponsors. Understanding the highly growing dynamics of the segment, the proud sponsors will be an important and valuable part of the championship league.
Currently, India accounts for more than 100 million fantasy sports users and the NFCC will further boost the popularity of the skill-based sport after having introduced glory and bringing forth the honor it brings to one’s skill.
