Legendary Brazilian footballer and a member of the team that won the 2002 FIFA World Cup jointly hosted by Japan and South Korea, Ronaldinho is set to promote cricket in India in a big way by partnering with Power Sportz, the world's first Live Digital Sports channel headquartered in the country. To begin with, Ronaldinho will promote the GPCL Global Power Cricket League being organised by Power Sportz as part of the NRI festival and Sports Mahotsav involving Indian diaspora players. The GPCL Global Power Cricket League is an initiative to collaboratively enjoy India's 75th year of Independence and commemorate it through Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav celebrations.

Ronaldinho association with the League will add a lot of star value to the GPCL Global Power Cricket League and Sports Mahotsav, given that the 42-year-old comes from the land of legendary footballers and whose name and pedigree is no less than greats such as Garrincha, Zico, Socrates, Ronaldo, Kaka and Neymar. The diaspora community is very close to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's heart and Ronaldinho coming on board to add his weight to the NRI festival and Sports Mahotsav through the GPCL Global Power Cricket League is bound to generate a lot of interest in a sport followed by millions in the country.
