Strangers at the start of the day became teammates by the end, bonding over every over.
The VCs won. But as Javagal Srinath put it, everyone walked away a winner. Having a cricketing legend as guest of honour for the curtain-raiser of Fintech Premier League Season 2 was special for many reasons.
It was heartwarming to hear founders and VCs share stories of watching him play growing up, some younger ones even video-calling their dads just so Srinath could say hello.
He fielded questions from every player: handling pressure, reinventing yourself, managing a team, why winning also means playing it right. Every response was a life lesson, the kind you don't forget.
For us, it did the job: pulling people out of high-stress work zones and getting them to bond as a community.
A great afternoon of sport, camaraderie, and genuine sportsman spirit.
