November: Citing Team India’s rare streak of toss wins in the ongoing series against New Zealand, Indian cricket legend Zaheer Khan sparked off a Twitter conversation about the rarest cricketing moments in recent history.

Much to the fans’ delight, this led to a lighthearted exchange between cricket stars like Smriti Mandhana, Faf Du Plessis, Shakib al Hasan and Shafali Verma about their favourite, rare on-field moments, which are also popular as NFTs on cricket digital collectibles platform Rario. Never one to shy away from some good-natured banter, Wasim Jaffer jumped in with a quip.

Bollywood actor Anupam Kher also jumped in, expressing his surprise and delight at this lively conversation, sending fans into a tizzy.

Zaheer, Smriti, Faf, Shakib and Shafali are among the first cricketers to venture into the world of cricket NFTs, having signed with Rario to mint exclusive NFTs of their noteworthy moments. 

Rario is a digital collectible platform for cricket fans to collect and trade officially licensed cricket moments on the blockchain, represented as a non-fungible token (NFT). "Reflecting the surging popularity of cricket NFTs, the platform has witnessed tremendous demand from cricket fans around the world with Rario's officially licensed cricket NFT packs selling out within minutes," the company said in a press release.
