It is a direct testament to the trust, value, potential, and growth that Indian cricket offers. As we prepare to host the World Cup later this year, enhancing fan experience is among our top priorities”.

At Dream11, we share our love for cricket with a billion Indian cricket fans, and it is a matter of pride and our privilege to become the lead sponsor for the National team. We look forward to continuing supporting the India sports ecosystem”. Dream11 will get three major ICC events as the lead sponsor.
