Kingfisher Airlines, the Official Umpire Partner of the DLF Indian Premier League, today announced a ground breaking new initiative to reward Fair Play during the matches which begin on Friday 18th April.

Under the Fly Kingfisher Fair Play Award, Umpires will award teams’ points for fair play, respect for the laws of the game and respect to their opponents. The Fly Kingfisher Fair Play Award will involve a League table running over the course of the season. The winner of the award will be the team that, in the eyes of the umpires, has played fairest across the 56 matches comprising the regular League season. Each member of the winning team will be presented with a glittering precious trophy. The award will be presented by Dr. Vijay Mallya, Chairman & CEO, Kingfisher Airlines Limited.

Dr Vijay Mallya, Chairman & CEO, Kingfisher Airlines Limited said, “At Kingfisher Airlines, we are proud to be leading this revolutionary new concept which will reward the team that plays fairest. We are all very excited about the upcoming matches, but with the eyes of the world upon us, we want to ensure that the players uphold the laws of the game and respect the Spirit of Cricket. The Fly Kingfisher Umpires will be the final authority on this award, and we look forward to a long and successful relationship with them.”

Lalit Modi, Chairman and Commissioner, DLF Indian Premier League said, “We are absolutely delighted that our Umpire Partner, Kingfisher Airlines has created such a unique initiative. As we prepare for 44 days of intense cricket, we must not lose sight of the fact that however hard cricket is played, it must be played fairly and in the spirit that characterizes our great game. We have already announced our partnership with MCC and that we will uphold the Spirit of Cricket. We are all extremely grateful to Kingfisher Airlines for their wonderful support.”
