New Delhi, Sep 7 (IANS): Young India leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi on Wednesday was signed up as brand face for the newly launched Super4 gaming application. Bishnoi, who made his T20I debut in February this year against the West Indies in Kolkata, has signed up with the brand on a contractual basis.

It also cuts down the challenges of creating & editing teams in the shortest span of time for the ease and convenience of the fans and enthusiasts.
"I am delighted to be a part of Super4. India has a lot of cricket enthusiast and fans and not everyone gets choices in life however this application allows the fans and enthusiast to create team and own scoreboards as per judgement and knowledge of the users that makes the experience lively."

Affordable smartphones and faster and cheaper internet have led to a tremendous increase in the gaming space of India.
