Cricket is much bigger in India than politics now seen in Tamil Nadu and Chennai, Sri Lankan wicket-keeper batsman and Captain of Sunrisers Hyderabad Kumara Sangakkara said.

“The spirit of sport and cricket cannot be curtailed because India is much more than Chennai. The build-up has been different this time. It has been difficult for Sri Lankan players because politics has restricted our presence,” he said.On former Sri Lankan captain Arjuna Rantunga’s appeal urging its payers to pull out of the IPL, Sangakkara said, “It is not about a nation versus nation issue here and it is not dictated by foreign policy.”

Deep Kalra, CEO and Founder, MakeMyTrip.com, said, “I hope Sunrisers become the surprisers. It is our first foray into sponsorship of this kind, because cricket gets the whole country going.” Accommodation is one of the biggest concern areas for any traveller. Today we are proud to extend our brand promise to ‘Hotels Unlimited’ by offering widest range of hotels with best deals in India, he added. The company’s two new offerings of money-back guarantee and last-minute online hotel deals are targeted at building customer confidence.
