Saran Corporate Cricket 7s bowls its way into Limca Book of Records
Tue 22 November 2011
Saran Corporate Cricket 7s, Saran Sports' longest running and largest corporate cricket event, created history in the Indian sporting landscape by breaking into the Limca Book of Records. The celebration held to commemorate this achievement hit its zenith when Indian cricketer Virendra Sehwag presented Saran Sports with the Limca Book of Records certificate.


With each year, the tournament has grown in stature, popularity and demand. Saran Corporate Cricket 7s provides a platform to indulge in sporting activity while breaking workplace barriers to enhance efficiency, develop leadership skills and reinforce and strengthen team building. Over the last 15 years, these championships have seen participation from over 302 companies, with various categories such as the Super Cup, Elite Cup, Seniors Cup, Super Cup, Champions Cup, Salver and Bowl, ensuring a level playing field for competition. The 2010 edition saw 106 corporate participants including many companies across sectors such as IT, banking, and finance, among others.


Commenting on the occasion, Virendra Sehwag said: "I would like to congratulate Sanjiv and his team on this remarkable achievement. An increase in the number of teams from 24 to over 100 in a span of fifteen years is a tremendous amount of hard work and effort. The Cricket 7s format is exciting to watch and I hope this tournament gets bigger every year."


Sanjiv Saran Mehra, CEO Saran Sports added: "We are absolutely thrilled to enter the Limca Book of Records and receive the certificate from the Zen master of modern cricket Virendra Sehwag. The tournament has successfully managed to create a stress-free environment for relaxed interaction away from the work place. It was very much a team effort which relentlessly contributed to ensure the success of this event."


Besides the Saran Corporate Cricket 7s, Saran Sports has also made a place for itself in the Limca Book of Records for the biggest corporate sports series in soccer, bowling, go-karting, tennis and squash, respectively.
