Mumbai: Homegrown online gaming company Games24x7 has appointed Indian cricketers Shubman Gill and Ruturaj Gaikwad as the new brand ambassadors for My11Circle, its fantasy sports platform. Both Shubman and Ruturaj will be seen in multimedia campaigns by My11Circle, spanning across TV, digital and social media platforms.

“With an impressive track record, Shubman and Ruturaj have created a distinct position for themselves in the Indian batting lineup," remarked Games24x7 co-founder and CEO Bhavin Pandya. "Their performance on field resonates with My11Circle's performance off-field where the brand has carved a spot for itself in fantasy sports within a short span of time, witnessing a 100 per cent growth last year. One of the reasons for our success has been our ability to engage and connect with the enthusiastic Indian cricket fans by valuing and rewarding their skill and passion.”

Gill made his entry in the Indian Cricket Team at the back of a triumphant run at ICC Under 19 World Cup in 2018. In the upcoming IPL season, he is being touted as one of the key players to watch out for. Speaking about this engagement, Gill said, “I'm very excited to be a part of My11Circle, a platform that offers access to so many people around the country to deeply engage with their favourite sport.”

Gaikwad was the leading-run scorer/orange cap holder in IPL 2021. Commenting on the brand association, he said, “I’m really honoured to be part of such a wonderful fantasy sports platform and privileged to join my fellow mates Shubman and Siraj as a brand ambassador of My11Circle.”

To further strengthen its association with the sport, My11Circle recently signed-up with RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group’s Lucknow franchise - called the Lucknow Super Giants as the official title sponsor. The three-year deal will see the fantasy platform’s logo featuring on the newly introduced IPL team jersey, stated the brand.
