We are happy to share that the Hughes Systique Cricket team – HSC XI, by defeating Aristrocrat Technologies in the finals have lifted the coveted Travomint Cup! A gruelling tournament which started in October 2024, saw some of the toughest teams battle it out for glory. The team’s path to final was especially more challenging as they had to play the formidable Samsung Avengers of Samsung Technologies in the semi-finals. But in the end, they won the match comfortably. Captain of the team & Technical Director – Engineering at HSC, Anurag Gour, said, “This win truly means a lot to the entire team. After two years of consistent effort, setbacks, and near-misses, lifting the trophy is incredibly special. It’s a proud moment for everyone — a result of hard work, passion, and strong team spirit”. And we are sure that there are many more to come…
