Mumbai, 10th August
Have you ever envied IPL players enjoying their game on the ground? Everybody remotely related to playing cricket surely has. And it’s justified. The crowd, the fun, the environment, everything is just so mesmerizing that even the TV Audience genuinely feel part of it.
The time has come to experience the same and not just watch on your television sets. Your corporate job can take a back seat for a while but this event surely can’t be missed. Corporate Cricket Bash Season 1, organized by Pitch Blue Sports Entertainment Pvt. Ltd, offered everything a common man (read corporate employees) with cricket running in his blood can ask for.
Let’s go through the highlights of Corporate Cricket Bash Season 1 to have an idea of what you might have missed and what you can’t afford to miss in the season 2.
In a country where there is no dearth of cricket, organizing an event that can be considered to match with one of the top leagues in the world, in terms of giveaways is itself a commendable job.
With proper coloured dresses, team dugouts, pyro start for openers, DJ & live screening and Dressing Rooms, CCB was one of the events where all such boxes were ticked.
The event was shown live on a giant screen with cameras setup all-round the park and ball-by-ball replays with digital scoring was also provided. Proper buffet setup was done to facilitate catering services to the players and all the guests.
But a surprising feature that is definitely not heard of till now is that all the teams and players were given the recordings and photos of the matches played by them in a flash drive, making the event all the more unique.
Such features could only be dreamt of in cricket events at such level. All participating teams were top corporates who actively took part in all the activities during the tournament – E & Y, L&T and Aditya Birla to name a few.
The event was covered on news channels and rigorously promoted with newspaper ads, bill boards and signages at significant locations and on-ground branding such as stage backdrops and boundary boards. There was no stone left unturned to reach out to the audience and it paid off as the event was a huge success so much so that Season 2 is already announced.
