Two-time T20 World Cup-winning captain, Daren Sammy is a Saint Lucian cricketer who played international cricket for the West Indies. No wonder Fun88 is immensely proud to have him on board as its brand ambassador.

Sammy bags the credit of being the first person from the island of St Lucia to play international cricket, when he made his One-Day International (ODI) debut against Bangladesh in 2004. Over the years, he has added several feathers to his cap, which has earned him huge popularity not only in India but the entire sub-continent. On July 8 this year, Fun88 announced the signing of Daren Sammy as its brand ambassador. Now, this is going to be a fantastic combination, as one of India’s most prominent sports content platforms joins hands with a former West Indian captain!  These films will be a part of Fun88’s upcoming integrated branding and marketing campaign #LagiShart.

Daren Sammy’s Take on the Partnership

There’s a special connection behind this partnership, which not many are aware of. He also expressed his excitement about being associated with the Fun88 team as a brand endorser and his gratitude at getting the opportunity to be the face that represents this renowned brand in the global & Indian sports domain.

Having followed FUN88 for a while, I have seen how the platform has evolved over the years. It has celebrated sports and cricket and has brought fans together since inception.

The Fun88 Team Can’t Control Its Excitement!

We at Fun88 are extremely thrilled with this association, to say the least! A leader and a role model in the sports field, Sammy has made exemplary contributions to Caribbean cricket.  We are looking forward to leveraging Daren’s popularity to take Fun88 to scale greater heights.
