‌Markram, Jansen, and Stubbs attend Exclusive fan interaction staged by Parimatch 

The session hosted by Parimatch enabled cricket enthusiasts to interact directly with the South African stars who were a pivotal part of the two-time champions squad. It fostered two-way communication where the fans learned about team bonding, behind-the-scenes moments, performing under pressure, the mindset of playing a knockout game, and much more. 

Captain of the side, Aiden Markram highlighted the importance of team environment and his role as a captain in the Eastern Cape. 

"I believe mental resilience and competing with oneself are crucial. As captain, I encourage a balanced atmosphere where players can enjoy the game while remaining competitive. Sponsorships also play a vital role in cricket development,” Markram cited.

Meanwhile, Jansen spoke about the importance of franchise tournaments in his cricket career, his role as a three-dimensional cricketer, and how he manages the various facets of the game.

"Franchise cricket has been instrumental in my growth, allowing me to learn from top players and adapt to different conditions. I treasure key moments with Sunrisers Eastern Cape, especially my SA20 final performance. Balancing batting and bowling requires discipline and adaptability, which I constantly strive for,” Jansen cited.

Additionally, Stubbs emphasized the mental aspect of the game and how crucial is it to not lose one’s mind under adverse situations.

"It's important to disconnect from cricket to stay fresh. I focus on controlling my emotions during high-pressure games and deeply value the strong team culture at Sunrisers Eastern Cape. Inspired by Dale Steyn, I bring passion and intensity to my game,” Stubbs added.

The virtual session not only highlighted the role of franchise tournaments in fostering a building a player’s mindset but also emphasized the role of sponsorships and partnerships in driving growth in the sporting realm. Parimatch prides on such elusive connections, trying to bridge the gap between players and fans, helping maintain an equilibrium on and off the field.

The company spokesperson expressed passion and excitement surrounding the SA20 League. Such interactions not only make the sport grow but also keep the fans involved in the game and make them feel an indispensable part of the ecosystem.
