Fan2Play announces two-time CPL champions Barbados Royals as associate sponsor for 2022 season
Mumbai: Fantasy sports platforms Fan2Play has announced its partnership with the men’s team of Caribbean Premier League (CPL) franchise Barbados Royals for the current season of the tournament. It got underway on 31 August in St. Kitts.
Fan2Play’s logo will appear on the non-leading arm of the Barbados Royals’ men’s official jerseys and training kits for the duration of the tournament as the team’s associate sponsor for this year’s edition.
Fan2Play said that it has rapidly established itself as a key partner to teams in multiple marquee cricketing tournaments across the globe. This includes CPL 2021 champions St Kitts and Nevis Patriots and the World Giants in the inaugural edition of Legends League Cricket (LLC) at the start of 2022.
As two-time champions of the CPL—lifting the cup in the 2013 and 2019 editions—the Barbados Royals are perfectly poised to continue this winning streak. This year’s men’s team will be led by veteran South African all-rounder David Miller and showcase a strong line-up of international and local talent, including Quinton de Kock, Jason Holder, and Obed McCoy. Through its association with a team of this stature, Fan2Play further strengthens its reputation for partnering with the biggest names in cricket.
“We are glad to be associated with Barbados Royals in this season’s CPL T20 League as we firmly believe they have the most balanced team and are one of the favourites to lift the trophy. In the past, Fan2Play has been associated with four different franchises, and they have all gone on to win in those respective seasons. We truly hope we can be Barbados Royals’ lucky charm as well,” said Fan2Play co-founder and GM operations Kumar Shashi.
“Participation of such grandeur is about showing Fan2Play’s presence among the elite of T20 cricket and connecting with our users and followers through such activation. We will be hosting some incredible moments with the Barbados Royals franchise this season, so join Fan2Play and be part of this exciting journey,” he added.
Now in its 10th season, the CPL is popularly referred to as the ‘Biggest Party in Sport’. Having started off on 31 August, the final of this year’s tournament will be played a month later on 30 September.
Rajasthan Royals, Barbados Royals GM-partnerships Uditvanu Das commented, “At the Barbados Royals, we are always very keen to explore avenues which can provide our fans with an all-round entertaining experience, not just on the field, but off it as well. Hence, we are delighted to welcome Fan2Play, a platform that engages fans and also rewards them for their participation, as a partner of the franchise.”

Navi releases new ‘Hurrypur’ film focused on speed and simplicity
Auto breakdown turns F1-style pit stop in campaign film set to Baalti’s track
MUMBAI: When life’s in the fast lane, Navi wants even your breakdowns to be over in a blink. Navi has rolled out a new film under its ongoing ‘Hurrypur’ campaign, doubling down on its core pitch speed and simplicity in everyday transactions.
The film opens on a familiar hiccup, an autorickshaw breaking down mid-ride. But what follows is anything but ordinary. The repair unfolds like a Formula 1 pit stop swift, precise, almost cinematic. Within seconds, the tyre is replaced, the vehicle is back on the road, and even the fare negotiation wraps up in record time.
Set to US-based musical act Baalti’s track “123”, the film uses rhythm and pacing to mirror its central idea, in a world that moves fast, everything around it must keep up.
The narrative builds on Hurrypur, a fictional world where time is treated as currency and delay is almost obsolete. Through exaggerated yet relatable scenarios, the campaign reflects a broader behavioural shift consumers increasingly expect instant responses, whether from people, platforms or payments.
Navi Limited MD and CEO Rajiv Naresh said the Hurrypur universe is designed to highlight the company’s focus on delivering seamless, time-efficient experiences. Meanwhile, creative agency Sideways and director Ayappa KM leaned into humour and visual energy to push the story beyond a typical product-led narrative.
Instead of listing features, the campaign sticks to storytelling turning a routine inconvenience into a high-speed spectacle.
Because in Navi’s world, even a pit stop refuses to slow things down.
