Colors Live announces an evening of sports secrets, India-Pakistan rivalry and uninhibited entertainment with the biggest arch-rivals of the cricketing world- Shoaib Akhtar and Virender Sehwag – at the first-ever Colors Cricket Conclave on 22^nd March 2018 at the Le Méridien Hotel, Airport Road, Garhoud- Dubai. The two incredibly successful cricketers will join fans at an intimate evening in Dubai, and share stories on their roller-coaster careers, their lives on-and-off the field and their rivalry over cricket. TV Host, commentator and presenter Gaurav Kapoor will host the evening and moderate the conclave.

The 3-hour evening event with buffet dinner & cocktails is hosted by Colors Live, the live events division of IndiaCast. It will end with an exclusive meet & greet and photo session with the cricketers. Tickets for the corporate event are priced at AED 6800 for an 8-seater table.

Speaking about the Colors Cricket Conclave, Sachin Gokhale, Business Head- Middle East & Africa and Head of Business Operations and Corporate Strategy for International Business at IndiaCast said, “Colors Cricket Conclave is our first event for 2018 and we’re very excited to introduce this unique cricket concept which will host two sides to the cricket story- i.e. a world-renowned batsman and a legendary bowler from two rival countries. We have received great support and appreciation from our South Asian audiences as they unite at our on-ground events in the Middle East. Fans can expect more fantastic live event experiences in the next few months which will be innovative and exciting for the market.”

Shoaib Akhtar, known as the speed demon of the Pakistan cricket team, was controversy’s favorite child. His career was a roller-coaster ride with highs and lows on a regular basis. However, when it came to bowling, and in the aspect of speed, there was no better sight that Akhtar. His pace had every nation gasping for breath. His 6/11 against New Zealand at Lahore had the Kiwis begging for mercy. The moment that best described Akhtar was his spell in the Asian Test Championship match against India at a jam packed Eden Gardens at Kolkata in 1999. He removed Rahul Dravid with a peach of an in-swinging yorker and won his first battle with Sachin Tendulkar, bowling him for a golden duck to silence the capacity crowd. He is remembered as the man who broke the 100 mile mark not once, but twice.
