Anis Sajan, popularly known as ‘Mr. Cricket UAE’, distributed over 700 tickets of the India–Pakistan match to workers in Dubai, covering everything from food and transport to logistics.
Sajan, a prominent businessman heading the Danube Group in the UAE, has long been associated with cricket. He also owns a team in the region, where Pakistan cricketer Fakhar Zaman has played in the past.
“For many workers, this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see their sporting heroes up close. Cricket matches of this scale are rare in the UAE, and when such moments come, I want to ensure that those who work tirelessly behind the scenes also get to be part of the joy and celebration. It’s about recognition, morale, and creating lasting memories. I am privileged to be in a position to fulfill my staff’s dreams of experiencing this moment,” siad Sajan.
He underlined that Danube’s 2,000-strong workforce represents nearly every South-Indian nationality and remains the backbone of the company’s growth. “At the end of the day, cricket is about building bridges,” he said.
