New Delhi, April 4 – A total of ten teams are competing in an exciting six-a-side cricket tournament using tennis balls, organized by Victorious Endeavours, which is currently underway at the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) Siri Fort Complex. This marks another significant step in the rapid growth of tennis ball cricket at the grassroots level.
The tournament, which began on Saturday, has already seen a series of closely contested matches on the first day, which have attracted attention from visitors. With its fast-paced format, the matches offer high entertainment value. The final is scheduled for Sunday.
Backed by Victorious Endeavours, this multi-team competition offers significant incentives to the participants. The winning team will receive a cash prize of ₹1 lakh, along with a trophy and certificates, further motivating teams to perform at their best.
