The HSBC Rugby Premier League, launched by GMR Sports in association with Rugby India, expanded its format this year by introducing women's franchises in Hyderabad.
The launch is the latest addition to Nike's portfolio of Cristiano Ronaldo-inspired products, which have celebrated several milestones throughout his career.
The series is being produced and hosted by sports media platform RevSportz and will feature creators Rohan Joshi, Sakshi Shivdasani, and Kaashvi Hiranandani.
To capitalize on this growing enthusiasm, NIVEA MEN India is rolling out a series of consumer engagement activities in collaboration with leading e-commerce platforms.
S8UL, which is part of the Esports Foundation’s Club Partner Program for the second consecutive year, is competing across 13 esports titles during the current season.
The campaign builds on the partnership by drawing parallels between the worlds of healthcare and professional sports, positioning both as high-performance environments that demand consistency and accountability.
From blockbuster entertainment tie-ups to immersive gaming integrations, these partnerships highlight how toys are becoming central to a broader consumer ecosystem.
The collaboration is part of the brand’s ongoing association with cricket and further strengthens its portfolio of athlete partnerships within the sport.
From snacks and chocolates to cloud kitchens and global beverage brands, collaborations with IPL teams are increasingly becoming sharper and more outcome-driven.
Skechers will continue to supply performance-focused kits for players, while also launching official merchandise designed to strengthen fan engagement beyond match days.
The collaboration will also feature player-led content, fan engagement initiatives, and match-linked campaigns aimed at strengthening brand recall throughout the season.
The collaboration will also integrate with Oaksmith Style Studio, a platform focused on cricket-led cultural narratives, including player storytelling and fan-centric content.
Under the partnership, Ai+ Smartphone will collaborate with the teams’ platforms to engage directly with millions of passionate cricket fans across India.
As part of the partnership, the brand will also gain visibility across team kits, in-stadium branding, and digital content during match days throughout the tournament.
Brands are no longer just sponsoring teams; they are building cultural moments, engaging Gen Z audiences, and creating storytelling opportunities that extend far beyond the pitch.
Each of these moments is represented visually as a line within the jersey’s design. When combined, these lines form the initials “KKR” through abstract linear artwork.
