New Delhi: When the die-hard cricket fans struggled to move from one venue to the other during the just concluded T20 World Cup 2024, a couple hailing from the Indian state of Bihar made sure that it wasn’t a hassle for them. Specially during the Super 8 and knockout stages in the Caribbean, when a large number of Indian fans were scrambling to travel at short notice, the Indian-American couple addressed the overwhelming demands and got the fans to their destination in chartered planes.
Crickbuster, the official OTA (online travel agency) for the International Cricket Council (ICC), owned by Vinny Kumar and Rashmi P Kumar, arranged chartered flights as revealed by the company’s official.
“During the Super 8 and knockout stages in the Caribbean, fans often encountered significant difficulties in securing flights and hotel accommodations due to overwhelming demand. Recognising this pervasive challenge, Crickbuster intervened with a seamless solution. We arranged chartered flights, ensuring fans had reliable and convenient transportation to and from the matches,” the Florida-based company said in a statement.
“Crickbuster USA is dedicated to supporting cricket enthusiasts and fans by providing the best experience in the stadium. Crickbuster consistently goes the extra mile to help fans achieve their desires,” Vinny Kumar, Crickbuster co-founder and chief operating officer (COO) said.
The matches held in the USA and the Caribbean saw a huge amount of Indian fans who made their way to the grounds to cheer for Team India and Crickbuster seems to have played a major part in transporting them from one place to another.
“The Crickbuster team is committed to providing exceptional service to all our customers, ensuring their tournament experience is top-notch. Our team, comprised the best in the industry, consistently works to provide a hassle-free experience for everyone,” Rashmi P Kumar, Crickbuster co-founder and president said. “Our team’s performance at Times Square in New York has become the talk of the town,” she added.
Cricket tourism?
Crickbuster has created a niche for itself in cricket tourism offering boarding and lodging packages to cricket enthusiasts along with the tickets to assure them a hassle-free experience in watching international games. According to the company, each package for the game that they provided was inclusive of stadium transfers, guaranteeing convenient and timely transportation for fans to and from the venue.
“This ensures that fans can focus entirely on enjoying the cricketing event, without the hassle of navigating transportation logistics,” a statement from the press release read. Surely the companies building on the idea of cricket tourism have got themselves the perfect example and there might soon be competition in this sector as well.
Considering the overwhelming demand of transportation and accommodation during the Super 8 and knockout stages of the T20 World Cup 2024, an Indian-American couple hailing from Bihar came at fans’ rescue.
