The 25th Saran Corporate Cricket 7s (CC7s) 2023 was inaugurated by Mr Sanjiv Mehta, CEO & MD, Hindustan Unilever at the Western Railway Sports Ground, Mumbai. Mr Mehta stated, "Congratulations to Saran Sports on the completion of 25 years of the Corporate Cricket 7s championship. It is indeed a great milestone. Cricket is a great sport and in many ways similar to business. You have to keep your team first and you have to practice not till you become perfect but till you can't make any mistakes. Lastly, you have to raise the game each day. Wishing all the teams the very best and may the best team win."
Launched in 1997, leading Indian corporate teams have signed up for the 25th edition of the Saran CC7s 2023. The championship is the only one of its kind and has witnessed participation by over 1,500 corporate teams since inception. It is exclusively for management cadre executives who are all amateur players. The rules have been specially devised to ensure that the competition is fun but competitive.
The Saran CC7s is the brainchild of Saran Sports founder Sanjiv Saran Mehra and is recognized by the Limca Book of Records as the world’s longest running and largest corporate cricket championship. It is part of the Saran Corporate Cricket Series in which over 100 teams are expected to participate. According to Sanjiv Saran, "The Saran Cricket Series serves as an extension of every executive's childhood besides serving as a stress free forum for relaxed interaction away from the pressures of the workplace." Saran further stated that the event breaks barriers and indulges executives in India’s biggest passion – cricket. Playing sports helps enhance efficiency, develop leadership skills and strengthen team building. Over the past 25 years, this championship has seen participation by teams from across sectors such as banking, MNCs, FMCGs, NBFCs, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, mutual funds, financial services, etc.
