Star Sports, the official broadcaster of TataIPL 2024, has unveiled its initiative, 'Star Nahi Far,' aimed at bringing fans across the country closer to their IPL heroes.
This fan-first initiative aims to enhance fan engagement and provide them with once in a lifetime opportunity to meet their favourite cricket players up close and personal throughout the IPL 2024 season.
The ‘Star Nahi Far’ initiative was started from Tamil Nadu and Hyderabad. The upcoming visit in this initiative is of Mumbai Indians and Team India’s all-rounder Hardik Pandya in Mumbai on February 24, 2024.
Pandya’s arrival to the Mumbai Indians squad of IPL 2024 will see a city-wide roadshow across Mumbai, where he will interact with fans, share insights into his cricketing world and off-field endeavours.
The ‘Star Nahi Far’ initiative involves Star Sports ‘Believe’ ambassadors, including Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, and Shikar Dhawan and more throughout the IPL season.
Commenting on the ‘Star Nahi Far’ initiative, Star Sports ‘Believe Ambassador’ Pant said, The IPL is not only about cricket; it's also about the fans who make every match memorable. With Star Sports' 'Star Nahi Far' initiative, I will get to share the game's excitement with fans directly. Can't wait to meet the fans in Delhi during IPL 2024 and make more special memories together!
Commenting on the ‘Star Nahi Far’ initiative, Star Sports ‘Believe Ambassador’ Rahul said, “The anticipation leading up to the IPL season is palpable, and being able to connect with our Lucknow supporters in person adds an extra layer of excitement. Teaming up with Star Sports for the 'Star Nahi Far' initiative, I am eager to hit the streets of Lucknow through the season of IPL, share our love for the game, and create unforgettable memories with fans.”
