NEW DELHI: Having successfully recovered from a serious accident, India's wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant is eagerly anticipating the opportunity to connect with his fans during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 matches in Delhi and create more cherished memories.
Rishabh, who had to sit out the 2023 season due to rehabilitation following the accident, is enthusiastic about participating in Star Sports' 'Star Nahi Far' initiative.
The initiative began in Tamil Nadu and Hyderabad, and it is now gaining momentum with the presence of Mumbai Indians and Team India's prominent all-rounder, Hardik Pandya, in Mumbai on Saturday.
As the excitement for the IPL 2024 season builds, 'Star Nahi Far' promises to traverse the nation with activities featuring IPL's brightest stars and Star Sports 'Believe' ambassadors, including Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul and Shikar Dhawan.
Commenting on the 'Star Nahi Far' initiative, Pant said, "The IPL is not only about cricket; it's also about the fans who make every match memorable. With Star Sports' 'Star Nahi Far' initiative, I will get to share the game's excitement with fans directly. Can't wait to meet the fans in Delhi during IPL 2024 and make more special memories together!"
Commenting on the initiative, Star Sports 'Believe Ambassador' Rahul said, "The anticipation leading up to the IPL season is palpable, and being able to connect with our Lucknow supporters in person adds an extra layer of excitement. Teaming up with Star Sports for the 'Star Nahi Far' initiative, I am eager to hit the streets of Lucknow through the season of IPL, share our love for the game, and create unforgettable memories with fans."
The recently concluded events in Tamil Nadu at Salem and Coimbatore along with Hyderabad underscores the broadcaster's focus on nurturing a deep connection between fans and their sporting icons. The resounding success of the inaugural leg witnessed over 10,000 passionate fans gathering to meet cricketing luminaries such as MSK Prasad and Irfan Pathan in Hyderabad, and Vijay Shankar, Sai Kishore, L Balaji, T Natarajan, and Shahrukh Khan in Tamil Nadu.
