Shikhar Dhawan has joined MyTeam11 as the new brand ambassador of the fantasy sports platform. The
senior Indian team cricketer is now expected to feature in quite a few promotional campaigns for the online gaming platform in the upcoming months.
Fondly called “Gabbar” by the cricket community across the world, Dhawan has been a vital part of the Indian cricket team for well over a decade. One of his best performances for the national side came during the Champions Trophy in 2013. Since then, his popularity has been on the rise, with the newly appointed captain of the Punjab Kings also seen entertaining fans on social media with his reels.
MyTeam11 is expected to bank on Dhawan’s cult following to promote its platform amongst cricket fans across the world. Shikhar shared his thoughts about the new association and was quoted saying, “MyTeam11 empowers the fans to be a part of the on-field action and put their knowledge of sports to the test.”
He added how the platform allows fans to feel like a captain and make decisions that could help their team win. The 37-year-old also shared how thrilled he was to associate with a brand like MyTeam11, which makes the fans more connected to cricket while taking fan engagement to a whole new level.
