The alliance will tap into digital-first, experience-based travelers through a mix of the thrill of travelling and the notoriety of cricket. Skyscanner will tap more people through Yadav, who will be used as a national figure (and eventually appointed as captain in the Asia Cup).The appointment also comes at the opportune moment when sport led travel is on the rise in India, and nearly 47 per cent of Indians are open to travel as supporters to watch live matches.
Within the framework of this collaboration, Skyscanner and Yadav have also created a social media contest in which users can create him his own travel plans by using the tools the platform can offer them.
