eve nts: SI A ROUN D TOWN
sportsperson of the year
In 2009, Sports Illustrated India brought the most coveted prize in US sports to Indian shores. SI India seeks to acknowledge the most outstanding
athletes India produces each year and to celebrate the performances of these heroes of a fledgling sporting nation.
SI t20 championship
In 2015, the Media Transasia Corporate cricket tournament was rebranded under the SI masthead. In its 26th year, the T20 tournament is a muchloved and well-attended event that pits media teams against our ever-present adversaries—media agencies and buyers. But it’s all in good humour.
alpha league races
SI India has partnered with the Alpha League to encourage urban athletes to challenge themselves by taking on obstacle-ridden courses that demand
the best of you. The inaugural race, in Bengaluru, was headlined by international swimmer Sandeep Sejwal and supermodel
Milind Soman. The event saw more than 3,500 participants.
SI charity gala and auction
In the works is a grand charity event that seeks to empower organisations using sport as a vehicle for social change. While we cannot divulge
too many details at this stage, we would encourage you to watch this space closely.
