MUMBAI: mig33, together with five DLF IPL teams, Kings XI Punjab, Delhi Daredevils, Royal Challengers, Deccan Chargers and Chennai Super Kings has managed to uproot the excitement straight from South Africa and place it in mobile phones. 

With the IPL fervor that has gripped fans, mig33 has been engaging its members with real-time chats with players from the five IPL teams. While both registration and chat are free, charges are applicable for data transfer.

Once a member joins a particular fan-club, say Kings Eleven Fanclub, he can enjoy updates on sports news, buy virtual club merchandise, cheer his favorite team players, and discuss the match religiously, all while chatting with his fellow Kings Eleven fans. He is alerted before a team coach, cheer leader or a player comes on board to chat and connect via text messages on the screen with the fans.

Having introduced the concept of a virtual cricket stadium to more than 20 million users over 200 countries, mig33 has come to the rescue of all those who could not be in South Africa to catch the IPL or who wish to be a part of the scene and connect with the fervor  even while the are on the move.

“Cricket is a social activity and the mobile-phone provides the ideal platform for fans globally to engage directly with one other, as well as chat to their cricket heroes. We are delighted that the IPL teams have established their official mobile fan clubs on mig33 and are using this new communications channel to help build their fan globally,” mig33 CEO Steve Boom, on the increasing fervor on mig33’s sports communities.
