Speaking about the announcement of the NFT collection launch, Gavaskar stated:
“When there was freestyle wrestling in India and Dara Singh was an unbeatable champion, I would go out early in the morning with a blade where the wrestling posters were put to cut out the picture of Dara Singh or Randhawa for my scrapbook.
“If they want something which would feel a certain connection with me, I would be happy to be a part of it. This is how these NFTs have come about.
“I am looking forward to launching this first NFT series where I share my key highlights and tell the story of those moments. I am excited by connecting with a new generation of digital-native sports fans and invite you to join me on this journey.”
Members will also stand a chance to win rare signed memorabilia and other personalised cricketing merchandise signed by Gavaskar himself. A few lucky ones can also get an exclusive batting masterclass from Gavaskar.
There will be a total of 51,036 Hall of Fame Access NFTs in the collection with it being broken down into five tiers, which are :
