Mumbai: Online gaming platform PlayerzPot has announced the extension of its association with cricketing stalwarts Smriti Mandhana and Bhuvneshwar Kumar as brand ambassadors. The sports stars were roped in by the brand in 2020.

Both Mandhana & Kumar will drive 360-degree communication through various campaigns and activities and promote the brand through their social media, the platform said in a statement. "This comes close on the heels of announcing a massive re-branding exercise," it added.

"We are thrilled to announce that we have agreed to extend this successful association with Smriti and Bhuvneshwar by another term," said PlayerzPot CEO Sunil Yadav. "We have another action-packed year ahead, and we could think of none better who understand our brand DNA and culture the way Smriti and Bhuvneshwar do. We look forward to another fantastic year of collaboration with them."

Smriti Mandhana shared, "It is interesting to witness the remarkable growth of fantasy gaming in the country. I am delighted to be a part of PlayerzPot that has been at the forefront of this growth. The platform has been exceptional in building a strong connection with sports enthusiasts.”
Bhuvneshwar Kumar added, "I am excited to extend my partnership with Playerzpot. The brand has only grown from the time this partnership started. The category and the company are giving people an opportunity to take their passion to the next level. It is empowering & entertaining sports enthusiasts at the same time.”

Ahead of IPL 2021, Playerzpot recently launched a campaign with its brand-new logo, tagline, and groovy rap. The campaign proved to be successful for the brand with app downloads and user time per session zooming up, the platform said.
