MUMBAI: Cricket meets convenience as Navi UPI, the Official Payments Partner of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), returns with another exclusive offer for fans this time unlocking early ticket access for RCB’s final three home matches of the season. Starting 11 am on April 16, Navi UPI users will enjoy a 24-hour head start to book tickets for blockbuster clashes against Chennai (3 May), Hyderabad (13 May), and Kolkata (17 May), well before the general public scrambles to grab theirs.

All it takes to score this VIP access is a tap on the RCB ticket banner in the Navi app and a payment via Navi UPI. This second wave of early access follows the resounding success of the first ticket window launched in March, which saw fans race ahead of the crowd to secure their spots for the opening home games.

But Navi isn’t stopping at just ticket perks. Cricket fever’s gone digital with Powerplay, Navi’s first-ever user contest, now live on its Android app. With each UPI payment, users unlock digital player cards and collect a full team of 11 unique players and you could win 2,000 Navi coins or RCB memorabilia signed by the stars themselves. Got five of the same player? That’s an instant 100 bonus coins in the bag.

Navi Technologies CEO Rajiv Naresh said, "We wanted to create something that makes everyday payments feel like a win. Navi Powerplay lets users have fun while they pay collecting player cards, earning rewards, and standing a chance to win RCB-signed memorabilia. We are excited to launch our first ever contest and look forward to enhancing contest-led strategies on Navi UPI in days to come.”

As the IPL heats up, Navi UPI is giving fans more reasons to cheer combining cricket, collectibles, and cashless convenience in one winning pitch.
