Citibank Country marketing manager Vijay Ramchandran says, "This game will provide an exciting opportunity to our customers, many of whom are avid cricket buffs, to test their cricketing acumen by selecting a team of their choice and contesting against other participants. Choosing the right team makes all the difference, in cricket, as in financial services."

 

Speaking about this game, Krish Srikkanth, former Indian cricket captain and promoter of Krishcricket said,” I have used my personal experience and involvement with Cricket for over the last 25 years to design Citibank Captain of Captains and it is but natural for us to partner with Citibank, the ‘Captain of Captains’ in the financial services industry, to bring this game to cricket lovers.

"The game provides an opportunity for participants to don the hat of a selector and pick his/her own team and tests the skills of the participant in understanding the dynamics of team composition.”

The performance of each team is judged on the basis of number of ‘runs’ scored which directly depends on how the players of the virtual team have performed on the real playing field.
