It is worth highlighting that Bangar will be featuring for the India legends team in the Road Safety World Series, a T20 cricket competition which is being played to promote the cause of road safety across the world. India-Legends helmed by Sachin Tendulkar will be up against West Indies legends led by Brian Lara in the tournament opener on Saturday.
“I am happy that I am a part of the Road World Safety Series. Every year, many people fall prey to accidents, if cricket can help in creating more awareness, then it can help a lot of people,” Bangar said.
“People will get a chance to watch some greats of the game. Everyone involved will try to give their best. Cricket has a massive reach, and people follow cricketers. If cricketers give out the message of wearing seatbelts, helmets, then people might listen to them and it will help in creating awareness,” he concluded.
