Dubai: While thousands packed the Dubai International Stadium for the epic India vs. Pakistan showdown, another electrifying cricket spectacle unfolded at Anis Sajan’s residence. The Vice Chairman of Danube Group, fondly known as ‘Mr. Cricket UAE,’ turned his home into a mini stadium, welcoming over 100 passionate fans to witness cricket’s fiercest rivalry in a thrilling, stadium-like atmosphere.

With tickets scarce and club screenings expensive, Sajan’s exclusive event became the ultimate destination for cricket lovers. But this was more than just a match viewing—it was a full-scale cricket festival. Fans arrived hours before the first ball, eager to experience the specially designed indoor cricket field where they played friendly matches and engaged in spirited banter. The competition quickly heated up, setting the perfect tone for an unforgettable evening.

As the match began, the energy reached fever pitch. A DJ kept spirits high, a dholwala’s beats echoed through the venue with every boundary and wicket, and the crowd’s roars mirrored those at the stadium. The passion for cricket was palpable, making it a night to remember.

“It was incredible to see the enthusiasm and love for the game,” said Anis Sajan. “From the pre-match cricket games to the intense banter during the match, every moment was filled with excitement. Fans cheered, celebrated, and debated, but in the end, they came together for the love of cricket. This was exactly the kind of experience I had hoped to create.”
Despite the high stakes, camaraderie triumphed over rivalry. As the final ball was bowled, Indian and Pakistani fans stood side by side, applauding both teams’ performances.
“At the end of the day, it’s not about which team wins—it’s about winning hearts,” Sajan added. 

Fans in attendance echoed the sentiment. Amir Khan, who was rooting for Pakistan, shared, “We tried getting stadium tickets but couldn’t. Honestly, this was even better—same electrifying atmosphere, an amazing crowd, and Anis Sajan’s hospitality made it truly special.”

For Priya Gehani, an ardent India supporter, said,“The ambience here was unbelievable—the DJ, the dhol, the food, everything made it feel like we were at the stadium. And to top it off, witnessing India’s victory in this setting made it even sweeter!”

Through his continued efforts in fostering cricket camaraderie, Anis Sajan once again proved that the love for the sport transcends borders. His screening didn’t just offer an alternative to the stadium—it created an experience that will live on in the hearts of every fan who walked through his doors.
