In a remarkable demonstration of commitment to sustainability and the environment, CricJust is successfully fulfilling its pledge to plant trees for every six hit during the Champions League Corporate Season 1. The initiative aimed to combine the thrill of cricket with a cause that leaves a lasting impact beyond the boundaries of the game.
This unique initiative saw 74 trees planted, representing the 74 sixes hit in the tournament thus far. The 74th tree was ceremoniously planted in the Diversity Sports Arena compound by two iconic captains: Anil Gupta, captain of Four Season Cricket Club, and Ankit Mishra, captain of Kanpur Smashers. The event marked the culmination of a green promise that CricJust had made to its players, fans, and the community.
A Sustainable Initiative
The tree plantation drive symbolizes CricJust’s efforts to give back to nature while promoting cricket at the grassroots and corporate levels. By linking the number of sixes to the number of trees, the league turned a powerful cricketing stat into a meaningful environmental initiative.

Speaking at the event, Anil Gupta expressed his pride in being part of an initiative that merges sportsmanship with environmental responsibility. Ankit Mishra, echoing the sentiment, emphasized the importance of such projects in inspiring others to adopt eco-friendly practices.
*The Road Ahead*
CricJust has set a precedent by integrating environmental initiatives with sports. This tree plantation commitment is just the beginning of its efforts to create a positive impact on society. Plans are already underway to incorporate similar initiatives in upcoming leagues, ensuring that cricket continues to contribute to both the community and the planet.
By fulfilling this promise, CricJust has shown that cricket is more than just a game—it’s a platform for creating a better future. As fans cheer for the big hits in upcoming seasons, they can also take pride in the greenery those hits will bring to the world.
CricJust stands tall, much like the 74 new trees planted so far, reminding us that every six counts, both on the field and for the planet.
