Sultan of Swing Bhuvneshwar Kumar to launch his NFTs with Rario

Kumar joins other cricketing megastars who are already part of Rario’s NFT Marketplace to usher in a new era of cricket fandom where cricketing frenzy meets cutting edge tech

Rario, the world's first officially licensed cricket digital collectibles platform today announced that Indian fast-ball spearhead, Bhuvneshwar Kumar is the latest on the growing list of cricketing superstars to have signed an exclusive contract with them. Kumar joins the likes of Virender Sehwag, Zaheer Khan, Smriti Mandhana, Rishabh Pant, Rashid Khan, Jason Holder, Quinton De Kock, M Siraj, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shafali Verma as player partners of the platform. Through this association, Kumar’s NFTs will be available exclusively on Rario.

Rario is a digital collectible platform for cricket fans to collect and trade officially licensed cricket moments on the blockchain, represented as a non-fungible token (NFT).

Speaking on the association, Bhuvneshwar said, ”As a child, I used to play the game wherever I could, be it at home, on the streets, or at the local park with my friends and we used to collect cards of our favourite cricketers. Having represented my country at home and overseas, I feel delighted that some of my most cherished moments on the field can now be collected and treasured as NFTs by cricket fans. I am really excited to be joining some of my counterparts, colleagues, and closest friends from the cricketing space like Virender Sehwag and Zaheer Khan into this new and exciting world of cutting-edge technology by joining Rario to launch my exclusive NFTs.”

Rario Co-Founder and CEO Ankit Wadhwa said, “Bhuvneshwar has been one of those rare cricketers who have proved their mettle in all formats of the game. As an Indian fast bowling spearhead, he has been a tremendous performer, and a true Sultan of Swing, across home and away grounds. Just as he would be spearheading the pace attack for Hyderabad, he will also be a pick for anyone looking to build a formidable bowling line up in the Rarioverse. I look forward to having him on board as an ambassador along with the other hall-of-famers at Rario, and I think I have the pace attack sorted for my metaverse cricket team!”
