Dehradun-28-09-2022- Team India Legends, franchise owned by Ms Nikii Daas is a strong self-made personality to reckon with in the realm of entertainment, fashion sports, and philanthropy. Her association in the second season of Road Safety World Series T20 cricket league is to influence people’s outlook towards their behaviour on the roads, with the aim of creating road safety awareness around the globe via a blend of sports and entertainment elements.
While she promotes the cause in Dehradun, she says “We had a few matches in Dehradun & by far this has been my favorite city in this entire tournament. The people are so cultured, the air is so pure. I am in love with the food & the serene locations”
“I am honoured to be a part of the second season of Road Safety World Series, season 2. I have great admiration and respect for sports. Through this tournament, we share the message to the people that they must follow the road safety rules strictly for their own welfare” adds Nikii Daas
Her team is one spectacular bunch- mentored and led by their Captain – the all great Sachin Tendulkar. And her squad includes The Luminaries of the Cricket Industry – Yuvraj Singh, Irfan Pathan, Yusuf Pathan, Harbhajan Singh, Munaf Patel, S. Badrinath, Stuart Binny, Naman Ojha, Manpreet Gony, Pragyan Ojha, Vinay Kumar, Abhimanyu Mithun, Rajesh Pawar, S Raina, Rahul Sharma.
The aim of the Road Safety World Series is to drive social change in the country and change people’s outlook towards road safety. As cricket is the most followed sport in the country and cricketers are looked upon as idols by many, this League will work as an ideal platform to influence and change people’s mindset towards their behaviour on the roads.
WHY ROAD SAFETY? Every year India loses a largely decent sized percentage of people compared to European nations on the roads. An approximate statistic says that – In India, one person dies every four minutes. Out of every hundred people dying in the world, 30 are Indians. It is more alarming that as per the World Research Institute, it is observed that by 2020, the death toll in road accidents every year will rise up to 2.2 million and 50 per cent will be Indians.
Every year around 150000 people are killed and more than 450000 people are critically injured in our country in road accidents.
So let’s bat through life’s journey with safe driving and fun cricket. Enjoy!!!
