CommsCredible-owned ‘Gurgaon InCredibles’ has announced its final squad for the Ab de Villiers-backed Last Man Stands (LMS) India Super Series 2024.
The amateur T20 cricket league kicks off its second season in Chandigarh on March 3.
Gurgaon Incredibles started its campaign with a win against Kathiwada Kat Kings in its first group match in Chandigarh on Monday. The Commscredible-owned team won the match by 3 wickets, with 3 balls to spare.
CommsCredible, an India-based PR & Comms Tech Startup, acquired the Gurgaon Team Franchise in November 2022. The team is supported by fintech startup BASIC Home Loan and NBFC Sugmya Finance.
Aman Dhall, the Founder of CommsCredible, will lead the team. Retired Northern Railway’s wicketkeeper-batsman, Rafi Hussain has been roped in as both the coach and player for the team.
Gurgaon Incredibles features a diverse blend of cricketing talent, including both seasoned veterans and promising newcomers from various backgrounds. The squad comprises individuals with backgrounds ranging from medicine, railway engineering, entrepreneurship, sales, physical education, to students.
Ranging in age from 20 to 42 years, the team consists of players hailing from various regions spanning Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Haryana.
Aman Dhall, said, “We’re excited for our second season of the Last Man Stands Indian Super Series. This year, we’ve made some changes, including bringing in a seasoned cricketer as a coach-cum-player. We believe his expertise will be invaluable on and off the field, guiding the team through crucial moments. Our broader goal with Gurgaon InCredibles is to nurture young talent aspiring to excel in the sport at the highest level and provide a platform for players making a comeback after leaving the sport for various reasons. We aim to create an environment where experienced players mentor the younger ones in their sporting careers.”
Rafi Hussain, said, “I’m extremely thrilled to join this team. I’ve known Aman since his childhood, and beyond his entrepreneurial persona, he’s an exceptional sportsperson. It’s fantastic to see him creating a platform for nurturing young talent. We’ve very carefully picked up the team composition for this season. We’re raring to go, and I’m looking forward to sharing my wealth of experience with the team, so that they can succeed both on and off the field.”
Branded as ‘Gurgaon Ke Guru,’ the team is eager to leave their imprint on this 100-ball 8-Player Format, where 20 teams (10 Indian and 10 International) will compete for a chance to qualify for the World Championship.
