While Aakansha gets the ultimate glory, the ten other winners will be awarded with a golden bat along with exclusive leaderboard cash prizes. Talking about her victory and experience, Aakansha Gupta said,“NFCC was truly a unique experience for me. I have been indulging in fantasy sports since long but haven’t had the opportunity to compete in such a large-scale tournament where we felt that we are truly progressing in our own matchups as the tournament progresses. I would like to congratulate all the other winners and BalleBaazi.com for coming up with such a unique concept.”
