Despite the Indian teams’ erratic showing in the world cup, Miditech is hoping to rekindle the cricketing fervor in India with it’s March 27th Cricket Star Grand Finale on Zee Sports and DD.
India’s first cricket talent hunt is finally down to the last 11 contestants who will be battling it out for a coveted place in the prestigious Leicestershire Country Cricket Club in addition to prizes like an all expense paid trip to Dubai sponsored by Signature Crest (India’s leading chain of serviced apartments) and a return ticket to London sponsored by Air India. The final episode comes at the end of a tough ten-weeks of training, which saw the finalists being chiseled into finer players at the Cricket Star Academy under the expert guidance of former cricketers Robin Singh, Praveen Amre and Abey Kuruvilla.
Likening the passion which drives cricket in India to the excitement on this show, Nikhil Alva, CEO, Miditech said, “In India, cricket shares a passion that cuts across region, culture and religion. Today, every street, nukkad, or galli in India has an enthusiastic budding cricketer waiting for an opportunity to perform on a bigger stage. With Cricket Star we have tried to create and provide this platform, which is unique and interactive and could help us launch India’s new cricketing talent. It is essentially a search for those individuals who have the hunger, the ability and the desire to perform at the highest level and become India’s next Cricket Superstar”. In addition, this show has played an important role in popularizing the emerging 20 – 20 format which is expected to dominate cricket in the years to come. The Grand Finale is expected to see famous faces like Sanjay Manjrekar, Robin Singh, Kapil Dev and Ajay Jadeja.
