Colors and Rajasthan Royals unveil winners of ‘Cricket Ka Ticket'

Colors and Rajasthan Royals have announced the two winners of the reality show "Cricket ka Ticket."

After months of fierce competition, Aditi Chauhan and Abhishek Batra have won amongst the pool of 22 cricketers.

Apart from cash awards for the duo, a mentorship programme for the winners and runners-up has also been initiated that would be spread throughout the year and will consist of cricket training by Rajasthan Royals’ coaches, health and fitness sessions with the franchise’s Head Physio John Gloster and Strength and Conditioning Coach AT Rajamani Prabhu, mental health sessions, and fortnightly catchups with coaches to track the development of the fresh talents.

Vivek Mohan Sharma, Head-Branded Content, Viacom18, said, “At Viacom18, we are dedicated to crafting unique content formats and Cricket Ka Ticket stands as a testament to our expertise in that space. Our collaboration with Rajasthan Royals has resulted in a show with immense popularity making it an unprecedented platform for the audience to connect with the franchise and the cricketing talent in this country. Combining the power of entertainment and a sport that is seen as a religion in this country has opened doors to a world of endless possibilities and impactful viewer connection with Rajasthan Royals and Colors and JioCinema as platforms. We congratulate the winners and are excited to see what the future holds for them.”

"Cricket ka Ticket" is a collaboration between Colors and Rajasthan Royals to discover raw cricketing talent from across the country.

Alok Chitre, Chief Business Officer at Rajasthan Royals, stated, "Our objective with 'Cricket Ka Ticket' is to reignite the lost dreams of thousands of Indians who want to play professional cricket at some point in their lives. Having witnessed the remarkable achievements of Aditi and Abhishek this season, we are delighted that the show has been a success, and has been able to offer both - a sense of hope, and entertainment - to its viewers. As during the course of the show, we are now continuing to offer the winners and runners-up support through the best training facilities at our High-Performance Centre in Nagpur, guidance and coaching from our esteemed panel of coaches, which can help in their overall development and prepare them for a shot at a professional career in cricket. As we eagerly anticipate what lies ahead for them in the future, we are also grateful to COLORS, who have supported us in this initiative, and we firmly believe that this collaboration will yield exceptional talent for the future of cricket."
