When India's premier automobile brand collaborates with the foremost digital destination for cricket enthusiasts, it sparks a dynamic partnership that transforms the fan experience into an extraordinary journey. This World Cup, Maruti Suzuki – the nation's leading car manufacturer – joined forces with ESPNcricinfo to elevate the thrill of the cricket season for avid fans seeking an immersive experience. The brief was simple: create content with the Maruti Suzuki persona at its core, to excite fans online and create conversations that can outlast the tournament. Thus was created a set of high-quality, value-driven content that would captivate the attention of cricket fans across a 4-month period that boasted of the WPL, IPL, and the T20 World Cup 2024! It began with "Maruti Suzuki Arena presents ICONS, Made for More" – insightful and entertaining conversations with the legendary Mithali Raj, shot in the stylish Maruti Suzuki S-PRESSO. Mithali and popular sports presenter Bhavna Balakrishnan explored modern-day icons of women's cricket, truly made for more.

From Steve Smith and Irfan Pathan to Ian Bishop, Tom Moody, and Varun Aaron – the flagship show saw a power-packed combine. The T20 World Cup began with a singular event, Maruti Suzuki Arena presents T20 Rendezvous in association with JBL, where two reputed thought leaders from the game – Irfan Pathan and Mathew Hayden – came together in a unique setting in the presence of a live audience who were in for a real feast! Maruti Suzuki Arena presents ESPNcricinfo Timeout continued into the T20 World Cup, we saw the likes of spin legend Anil Kumble, Andy Flower, Stephen Fleming, Tom Moody, Urooj Mumtaz, Ian Bishop, and Aaron Finch lead our panel.

As the Global Logistics Partner of the ICC, DP World has been committed to introducing Cricket to the world and building a strong infrastructure for budding young cricketers in India and other nations. Through their Beyond Boundaries initiative, the global leader in logistics has been delivering cricket kits to deserving young cricketers across different nations. And this time, they brought this initiative to the USA and West Indies as well. So, it was only apt that when ESPNcricinfo collaborated with the logistics giant, we decided to go beyond boundaries and help deliver to fans an incredible experience during the T20 World Cup. Every match during the mega tournament was an epic encounter – and victories were made possible through the collective contribution of every player. Especially the ones that provided critical performances in more than one area – the allrounders. Just like DP World, these are players that truly went beyond their calling and created a conducive environment for their team to go closer to victory. The daily video show DP World presents Going Beyond Boundaries was an example in quality bespoke brand-led content. It celebrated the one allrounder that truly went beyond regular duty and brought the game alive with his impressive contribution to the game. The player was picked on the basis of the 5 Smart Ps – Smart Performance, Perspective, Preparation, Possibilities, and Partnership – the smart components that change what’s possible, both in cricket and logistics. Throughout the tournament, we also brought updates from DP World’s Beyond Boundaries initiative to fans. Our ESPNcricinfo anchors shared details on the number of kits delivered till date, in perfect sync with the updates that went to fans in the stadium, during live matches. Through this collaboration, fans were treated to a seamless blend of sports and logistics, celebrating the spirit of cricket and the allrounders who make every match memorable. This was made possible by the continued support of team DP World – Neeraj Sharma and 160over90 – Shiv Burman, Rubina Dhillon, Charlie Richards, Charlie Mottram and Robin Spring who reposed their trust in #ESPNcricinfo for yet another successful association.

There’s content that evokes, content that intrigues, and content that seeks to bring about change. Then again, there’s content that brings a smile to your face. This is about one such video series that we recently had the privilege of collaborating on. ESPNcricinfo and Classmate by ITC joined forces to create a series of videos aimed at making learning fun. Our goal was to steer clear of preachy or didactic tones and instead develop content that is light-hearted, relaxed, and valuable to every viewer. Thus, Get School’d with Classmate was born. This fun series of videos features some of the most popular cricket luminaries meeting their match in... kids! Viewers got to see the likes of Ian Bishop, Aaron Finch, Irfan Pathan, Varun Aaron, and Tom Moody being grilled by a panel of schoolkids on a variety of topics. From Gen Z buzzwords and tantalizing IPL trivia to signature cricket techniques and personal milestones, these experts faced "bouncers and yorkers" from their young interviewers in every video. Classmate, as a brand and an identity, was seamlessly woven into each video. Users learned about Classmate’s cool new set of Interaktiv AR notebooks, which allow kids to explore space, the solar system, evolution, and other fascinating concepts simply by scanning the QR code on the notebook cover. They were also introduced to the Classmate Origami series, which teaches kids to create fun shapes through the Japanese art of paper-folding. Additionally, viewers discovered that they can choose from over 3000 different designs to custom-design their notebooks! In essence, these videos perfectly blended learning and fun, engaging cricket fans during the season’s most anticipated tournament. Get School’d with Classmate: where cricket legends meet their match and learning becomes a joyous game! This was made possible through the support of team Classmate at ITC Limited, led by Jaikishin Chhaproo, Ayan Chaudhuri, Anurag Gupta, Gayathri Sreekantan, Aashis R., Aishwarye Rajan.  The initiative was ably supported by the Interactive Avenues team, namely Amit Sanglikar, Harish Iyer, Sekhar Patnaik and Shreni Mehta.

As the game evolves, fans witness the rise in caliber of the players entering the fray. All 3 disciplines – batting, bowling, and fielding – have seen a tremendous rise in quality and performance since the last 10 years or so. So, when debutants step on to the field in 2024, they are already a few steps ahead of their predecessors. Then why do many still falter and step away prematurely? The primary reason for this lies in the overwhelming pressure, which has grown exponentially, especially with social media becoming the main platform for fan engagement. When a popular cricketer walks on to take guard, he is immediately surrounded by an immense amount of noise all around him. From fans shouting in the stands, to millions expressing their opinions on social media – any player will be inundated by it all, unless he learns to mute the world. Only those who drown out unwanted noise and get into their zone will truly emerge victorious. It is this very expression, that brought JBL and ESPNcricinfo together this IPL, as we presented a unique series of engaging content for fans. One of the standout pillars for this initiative was ESPNcricinfo’s flagship show, 'Timeout powered by JBL,' where renowned cricket experts provided robust and uninhibited opinions on every match. Another key component was the "JBL Mute the World Performer" segment, celebrating players who managed to block out the noise and deliver outstanding performances consistently. The campaign also included contributions from popular cricket influencers, who shared their insights on how top performers were able to #MuteTheWorld and make a significant impact on the tournament. Influencers like Irfan Pathan, Mayanti Langer, and Jatin Sapru participated in a series of collaborative Instagram reels with JBL, directing fans to the ESPNcricinfo content and highlighting the mental fortitude required to succeed in today’s high-pressure environment. #MuteTheWorld #TuneBeam #JBLIndia #JBL #Headphones #Marketing #Cricket #IPL2024 #ESPNcricinfo HARMAN India This was made possible with the continued support and confidence placed in us by the team at JBL India - Akhil Sethi Harish Venugopal Nair Yogesh Nambiar Parul Sharma Anushka Guha, ably supported by the good folks at Havas Media Network - Ramachandran Venkatasubramanian Uday Mohan Rohan C.

The modern game of cricket is in a constant state of evolution, particularly evident in the innovations seen in T20 cricket in recent years. From the switch hits to helicopter shots, knuckle balls to back-of-the-hand deliveries, both bowlers and batters are pushing the boundaries. What's fascinating is how much of this innovation boils down to the grip. This IPL season, ESPNcricinfo and Eurogrip Tyres teamed up to present an engaging content series titled "Eurogrip Tyres presents All About The Grip". Through a set of highly informative videos, popular cricketing experts including Ian Bishop, Irfan Pathan, Aaron Finch, Steve Smith and Varun Aaron showcased the unique grip techniques introduced by popular players, emphasizing the pivotal role of grip in executing signature shots and deliveries. Viewers gained insights into how subtle changes in grip can significantly impact performance, mirroring the importance of the right grip, like Eurogrip for your tires, in achieving optimal outcomes. This was yet another fruitful outcome of the continued trust put in ESPNcricinfo by the Eurogrip Tyres team led by Madhavan Parthasarathy, Kannan Veeraiyan, Kavitha Ganesan and Siddharth Venkataraman. It was ably supported by the good folks at Havas Media Network - Leeladhar Laheri, Ramachandran Venkatasubramanian, Dharini Desai, Rohan C., Manish Sharma, Durvesh Baraskar, and Girish L Punjabi. A huge shoutout to the team at ESPNcricinfo who made this possible - Akshaya Kolhe, Saurabh Sabharwal, Taruna Thakur, Suketu Mehta, Raunak Kapoor, Abhishek Mittal, Joseph JoyC and Hrishikesh Gangoli.
