The 2024 T20 World Cup commenced in West Indies and United States of America on Saturday as 20 teams from various continents battled it out for the most coveted trophy in the shortest format of the game.
Keeping the excitement in mind, OYO CEO Ritesh Agarwal revealed that the firm had opened a cricket-themed hotel in Bengaluru named "CricOtel" and felt that the establishment was a true reflection of India's cricketing legacy.
"IPL might be over, but the excitement doesn't end there. With the T20 World Cup starting today, I couldn't be more thrilled."
"As a lifelong cricket fan, I'm delighted to share some fantastic news with you. We've just inaugurated a new cricket-themed hotel in Bengaluru - CricOtel," Agarwal wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday.
