United By Cricket: Shikhar Dhawan and 1xBat root for the national team against Australia!

Much to the fans’ regret, Shikhar Dhawan announced his retirement from cricket this summer, so he will not help the Indian squad on the pitch. However, his vast popularity will allow him to continue popularizing this sport with the support of 1xBat Sporting Lines.

“We are happy to have Shikhar Dhawan as our official partner and brand ambassador. 1xBat supports all of Shikhar Dhawan’s initiatives, and through this partnership, we can inspire the next generation of Indian athletes together,” said a 1xBat representative.

Left-handed batsman Shikhar Dhawan played on the India national team for 13 long years, appearing in 34 Tests, 167 ODIs, and 68 T20 matches. He also captained the country’s main squad 15 times.

In the Indian Premier League (IPL), Shikhar Dhawan can boast 222 games, scoring 6,769 runs.

CII – Young Indians (Yi) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) Join Forces for a Cause

Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India]: Cricket is not just a game but an emotion for Indians. Leveraging upon this fact, CII–Young Indians (Yi)–has set off on a glorious journey to battle the pressing issue of child sexual abuse in India. Yesterday, the organisation announced an exciting collaboration with the most prestigious and successful IPL team, Chennai Super Kings (CSK), for its upcoming Play for Cause Game, Yi Masoom Cup 2023. The partnership, announced at the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) in Chepauk, will see an exhibition league match between the Yi National Team and CSK to raise awareness about child abuse–physical and digital–and to serve to educate the public about the Masoom vertical of Yi and its commitment to protecting children from the damaging effects of sexual and other forms of abuse.

The event witnessed the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Kasi Viswanathan, signing the partnership with CII-Young Indians (Yi). Viswanathan has been an integral part of team management ever since the inception of the league and the franchise in 2008. The partnership ceremony was also graced by the gracious presence of Dr. P. Ashok Sigamani, President, Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA). There was a strong turnout of media professionals, sports enthusiasts, and advocates for child protection at the event. During the press meet, key representatives from the Young Indians and Chennai Super Kings shared insights into the Masoom Cup initiative, its objectives, the impact it aims to create, and their commitment to working together for a safer future for children.

This significant partnership comes in the wake of rising physical and digital child abuse cases. Chennai Super Kings, associating itself with Yi Masoom Vertical and its cause, will surely open a colossal platform to eradicate the social taboo attached to child sexual abuse among the team’s fans in India and abroad. The team-up looks forward to enormous media hype and massive viewership, attracting a diverse audience from all walks of life and garnering support for this vital cause for children.

Sharing his immense excitement about the partnership, Dilip Krishna, Yi National Chairman, says, “An abused child is a lost citizen to our nation; securing our children is our primary responsibility to build a strong future. This is the grandest platform that the Masoom initiative can gain, and it gives me great pride to be taking the right step towards spreading awareness about child abuse, both physical and digital, with all stakeholders and what better way to engage all stakeholders for the cause than sports, especially cricket”

The Yi Masoom Cup, recently inaugurated by the star cricketer Bhubaneshwar Kumar, is named after Young Indians’s Project Masoom. It aims to get more than 55 Yi chapter cricket teams across India to play and amplify the vertical across all cultures, languages, and social biases to secure children’s futures.

Chennai Super Kings is one of the most successful franchises in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Beyond cricket, CSK actively engages in community initiatives and partnerships to support various social causes.

The Yi Masoom Project aims to uproot child abuse, both physical and digital, from society. It believes that an abused child is a lost citizen of the nation, and it is the primary responsibility of adults to build a solid and secure future for every child. Its principles are etched along the lines that “every child matters in every corner of the country”. The project recently achieved the Guinness Book of World Records on November 14, 2022.

West Indian legends Dwayne Bravo and Andre Russell give Indian charities a helping hand by partnering with Win Millions Lotto

The cricketing superstars kick off Win Millions Lotto’s star-studded cast of partners – with fans given the chance to win life-changing money

London, Mumbai: Two West Indian World Cup winners have partnered with Win Millions Lotto to give back to people in need across India after years of starring in the Indian Premier League.

Cricketing legends Dwayne Bravo and Andre Russell will be asking their legions of fans across the globe to play the world’s biggest lotteries on Win Millions Lotto through their social media – with the lion’s share of the profits going to help Indian charities.

Bravo, the top wicket-taker in IPL history, is now Chennai Super Kings’ bowling coach after over a decade of being one of the competition’s leading lights, including eight years in Chennai.

The Trinidadian legend, nicknamed ‘Sir Champion’, has chosen to help the Geo India Foundation through his partnership with Win Millions Lotto. Geo is a Chennai-based charity which brings education, food, housing, public health and a liveable environment to children, youth, women and families in need. Bravo’s funding will help them achieve their goals.

Stylish all-rounder Russell, known for being a fan favourite during his career across the international and domestic game, has played a starring role for Kolkata Knight Riders since joining the team in 2014 and joins Bravo in kicking off Win Millions Lotto’s mission to help Indian charities.

The man Knight Riders fans affectionately call ‘Dre Russ’ is batting for Rhapsody Music Foundation – a charity that helps children across South India, using music as a tool for their overall development and learning. Their philosophy of “Education Through Music” is based on scientific findings focused on the relationship between children having access to music and its effect on developing different parts of their brain.

With the pair winning both the 2012 and 2016 ICC World Twenty20 tournaments together, they have now teamed up again to kick off Win Millions Lotto’s cast of celebrity partners. Many other global stars across the worlds of sport, film and music are set to join them in generating much-needed funds for their own favourite charities.

Online lotteries are hugely popular across India. Now, fans can contribute to their favourite player’s charity by accessing Win Millions Lotto through the social media channels of either Bravo (bit.ly/djbravo47) or Russell (bit.ly/DreRuss12). By purchasing lottery tickets, fans have the chance to win life-changing sums of money while supporting worthy causes.

Commenting on his new partnership with Win Millions Lotto, Bravo said: “I’m delighted to be working with Win Millions Lotto to help a charity that is incredibly close to my heart. People who know me back home know I’m passionate about helping the underprivileged and would love my fans to play Win Millions Lotto through my Instagram page to ensure we can help the Geo India Foundation. I’m also incredibly happy that Andre is joining the project – he’s a great friend of mine and it’s a delight to reunite with a fellow West Indian legend!”

Russell added: “I always enjoyed sharing a dressing room alongside Dwayne and I’m proud to be reuniting with him. Music is one of my life-long passions and I fully believe in its power to help children across India, so I’m asking all cricket fans to help Rhapsody carry out this vital work by playing Win Millions Lotto through the link on my Instagram.”

Win Millions Lotto CEO, Sulim Malook, said: “We are delighted to have Dwayne and Andre as our first two partners for Win Millions Lotto. Charities need funding now more than ever and many stars from around the worlds of sport, music and film are stepping up to do their bit.

Our innovative model means high-profile personalities can use their social media for good. Just by posting, which is something they do regularly, they can encourage their fans to support their favourite charities. Lottery players tend to play their lucky numbers week after week, year after year. For as long as they keep playing, charities will keep benefitting.”
