EXTRA shine has been added to the Coca-Cola Khaya Majola Cricket Week by announcing former Proteas superstar Robin Peterson as the face of the Coca-Cola Hero of the Day.
Peterson, who is himself a hero of South African cricket, will lead a panel of experts tasked with selecting the coveted Coca-Cola Hero of the Day award winners at this year’s Coca-Cola Khaya Majola Week, taking place in Bloemfontein from December 15 to 21.
Peterson said, “Having played in the Coca-Cola Khaya Majola Week myself I can testify that this tournament is a significant stepping stone in the career of a young cricketer. I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to play a part in the country’s premier youth cricket tournament and to lead the Coca-Cola Hero of the Day judging panel which has already uncovered multiple young heroes.”
The Coca-Cola Hero of the Day is not necessarily your typical man of the match award – he is the wicketkeeper who made an amazing dive catch, a tail-ender who smashed a reverse sweep for six to win the match or even the player showing sportsmanship and embodying the spirit of the gentleman’s game.
