Capital Corporate League T-20 Awards Ceremony – A new benchmark in local cricket

As a cricketer you probably play a lot of tournaments and matches but there are only a few tournaments which get etched onto cricketer’s memory. One such tournament which has succeeded in creating a lasting impression is “The Capital Corporate League T20 Cricket League” organized jointly by Fairplay Sports Management & Capital group under the aegis of Mumbai Cricket Association.

This tournament saw participation from leading corporate houses (as many as 108 teams) in Mumbai with the likes of Sony, Toyota, Axis Bank, Deutsche Bank, Tata, Vodafone, Idea etc. This tournament was unique in quite a few ways. For starters, the tournament participation fee was meager INR 5000/- which was a refundable deposit,  INR 2000/- cash prizes for every man of the match, INR 25,000/- for best batsman, bowler and all rounder each, maximum cash prize of INR 250,000/- to winning team from top division.  It also gave an opportunity for corporate teams from lower divisions to play on one of the best venues in Mumbai – BKC, Wankhede Stadium, MIG etc.

They say all good things have to come to an end and it ended with bang! The award ceremony was held at the club house of MCA (Mumbai Cricket Association), Wankhede Stadium. The atmosphere was buzzing with all local cricketers from various backgrounds and it was compared to an ICC award ceremony. In fact few IPL players from the participating team were also present in the award ceremony. There were lights, camera, food and action throughout the function. Speaking to CricketGraph, Mr. Abhijit Ghosh from Fairplay Sports Management who organized the event said “The most important unit in this entire event was the Capital Group which entrusted faith and full support from the beginning. I also would like to thank all committee members of MCA especially Mr. Ravi Sawant, Dr. PV Shetty and Nitin Dalal for allowing us to conduct this tournament smoothly. We saw maximum participation and a super positive feedback from all the teams. Next year we would like to make it even bigger with more teams and a possible live telecast on T.V.”
