Every Team Wears a Story
Roti. Karuna. Sewa. Sankalp. Not mascots — India's oldest words of kindness, stitched onto jerseys.
Chef Tamang
Karuna means compassion — and no team wears the crown better. India's transpersons community takes the field not as guests of the game, but as kings of its kindest cause. Every run they score is a boundary crossed twice: once on the pitch, once in society.
Transpersons
They command millions of eyes. This October, they point every one of those eyes at an empty plate — and fill it. India's creators ride for the roti, turning reach into rice, followers into feeders.
They fly above the clouds for a living. Now they land on the pitch for a reason. India's flight captains bring altitude to attitude — daring cricket in service of the most down-to-earth cause there is: food.
Farmers
They protect our streets by night. This season, they protect something else: the right of every child to nutrition. The police take guard for poshan — proving that the strongest arm of the law is the one that serves a meal.
Delhi Police
Sewa is not a word to them — it is a uniform. The soldiers who guard our borders now bat for the hungriest frontline of all. When the Army plays for food security, the whole nation stands at attention.
Indian Deaf Cricket Association
Boardrooms measure quarters. Titans measure impact. India's corporate leaders leave the spreadsheets behind and pick up the bat — showing that the biggest brands are built on the biggest hearts.
Constitution Club of India
They chase truth for a living. Now they chase totals for the truth that matters most: no one should sleep hungry. India's newsrooms send their fiercest to the crease — panthers by day, prasad-bearers by heart.
Influencers
The scriptures call annadaan the greatest of all gifts. India's food brands take that seriously — every run they score donates 10 meals, and every stall they run feeds the festival that feeds the nation.
They don't nudge the ball — they blast it. And every six off their bats means sixty meals served somewhere in Delhi. Loud cricket, louder generosity: that's the Blasters' promise to the crowd.
DPS Indirapuram
Sankalp means a vow — and heroes keep theirs. This team carries the season's deepest resolve: from pledge to plate, from intention to impact. They climb so others can eat.
