Chat with IPL Players

mig33, a social networking platform, together with five DLF IPL teams, Kings XI Punjab, Delhi Daredevils, Royal Challengers, Deccan Chargers, Chennai Super Kings, has managed to bring the real excitement of cricket straight from South Africa to your mobile phone. With the IPL fervor that has gripped fans, mig33 has been engaging its members with real-time chats with players from the five IPL teams. While both registration and chat are free, charges are applicable for data transfer.

Once a member joins a particular fanclub, say Kings Eleven Fanclub, he can enjoy live ball-by-ball commentary, be updated with sports news, buy virtual club merchandise, cheer on his favourite team players, and discuss the match religiously, all while chatting with his fellow Kings Eleven fans. He is alerted before a team coach, cheer leader or a player comes on board to chat and connect via text messages on the screen with the fans.

"Cricket is a social activity and the mobile-phone provides the ideal platform for fans globally to engage directly with one other, as well as chat to their cricket heroes. We are delighted that the IPL teams have established their official mobile fan clubs on mig33 and are using this new communications channel to help build their fan globally," said Steve Boom, chief executive officer, mig33.

Preity Zinta, co-owner, Kings XI Punjab, said, "We are excited with this association with mig33. mig33 has brought our fans across the globe on a common platform. It is amazing to connect with them and be so close to them while sitting in South Africa. Our fans are using this platform to ignite passion and to support the team during the IPL."
