KANGRA – They are used to trending on screens, but this time, digital creators proved they can trend on the scoreboard too.
In a high-energy friendly cricket match organized by The News Radar on Sunday, a team of popular social media influencers traded their tripods for bats, clinching a spirited victory over the Singers’ XI at the Kangra MC Ground.
The event offered a rare sight: the same faces that usually dominate mobile feeds with viral reels were seen diving for catches and smashing boundaries. While the medium changed, the trademark influencer energy remained the same—vibrant, competitive, and highly entertaining.
Creative Minds, Athletic Spirits
The influencers displayed remarkable teamwork, proving that their creativity isn’t confined to video editing. Many players noted that while they grew up playing “gully cricket” in their villages, playing a structured match against professional singers was a refreshing and nostalgic experience.
Before the first ball was even bowled, Arnav Nehriya exuded confidence, predicting a tough fight but a guaranteed win for the creators. His words proved prophetic as the team’s coordination on the field ultimately led them to the winner’s trophy.
A Message Beyond the Boundaries
The match wasn’t just about runs and wickets. Local youth from Kangra and Dharamshala, who gathered to cheer for their favorite digital stars, praised the initiative for its positive impact.
“Seeing these creators on the field reminds us that staying physically active is vital. Sports are the best way to stay fit and keep the youth away from negative influences like drug abuse,” noted one young spectator.
