Through these 6 ad films, Dream11 puts the spotlight on the fans and celebrates the passion that makes them go out of their way to play a game of cricket. Be it rough grounds, unfavourable weather or the fury of the neighbours, a real cricket fans never wavers.

As sports fans, we’ve all been through some innocuous problems to play a game of cricket, and there’s always a hero who ensures that the game goes on. Our campaign celebrates these heroes and I’m sure it will strike a chord amongst all cricket fans.
