Siddhant Kaushik, founder and director of the league, said that the goal of the NCR T20 Cricket League is to discover talented players from every corner of the NCR who have been unable to advance due to lack of resources and opportunities. The league aims to connect the passion and enthusiasm of talented players playing in the streets with the recognition and respect of professional stadiums. In other words, to bridge the gap between street skills and the dreams of the big arena, so that every talented player has an equal opportunity to showcase their potential. Nitin Sharma said that through this talent hunt, an effort is being made to bring new cricket stars to the professional stage, furthering the Government of India’s campaign, “Khelega India, Badhega India.” This initiative is aimed at bringing new cricket stars to the forefront of professional cricket, so that their talent can be showcased to the entire nation.
IPL players Rahul Yadav, Yogesh Nagar, and Ishaan Malhotra were present during the press briefing.
