FantasyDangal has announced the onboarding of cricketer Cheteshwar Pujara as its brand ambassador.
With the collaboration, Pujara will appear in upcoming campaigns and promote FantasyDangal as an established fantasy sports platform.
Pujara, an Indian international cricketer, is one of India's finest top-order batsmen. He is among the most prolific first-class cricketers to play the game, and his numbers speak for itself. Also known as Mr Dependable, Pujara is the second Fastest Indian to reach 1,000 Test runs, he has scored 6792 runs in 96 Tests, including three double centuries and 18 centuries.
He scored three centuries – earning him the Man of the Series award - in India’s first Test Series Victory on Australian soil and has been the backbone of the Indian batting line-up for a better part of the last decade.
The partnership between the batting stalwart and FantasyDangal aims to bring an influx of sports enthusiasts to the platform and further cement it as one of the country's most trustworthy and user-friendly fantasy sports platforms.
As a fast-developing fantasy sporting platform with 2+ million current active users, FantasyDangal aims to become India’s next-door online fantasy sports paradise.
With Cricket and Kabaddi in the existing catalogue, it plans to add new sports to its repertoires, like Football and Basketball, in the coming days.
Other than classic fantasy, they also have batting, bowling and Innings fantasy. The platform provides 2nd Innings fantasy with a twist where one needs to select only seven players, which involves strategy compared to selecting eleven players.
Ankit Anand, Business Head of FantasyDangal, said, "Cheteshwar Pujara has set some unmatched records in global cricket and is regarded as one of the best batsmen. Besides being a world-class player, he also represents trust and reliability in Indian cricket, which ties in seamlessly with FantasyDangal's ethos. Our connection with him sets us on a journey where we picture perfection due to our never-ending efforts to excel in our field and provide the best experiences to our dedicated users."
Pujara said, "Sports enthusiasts are increasingly embracing fantasy sports in the country. With FantasyDangal, you are not just playing for entertainment but also learning how to master fantasy sports. As a brand ambassador, I am excited to collaborate with such a dynamic company."
