Funtoss took on the flavour of the World Cup matches with teams turning out in coordinated colours, team huddles and high fives happening on the fall of each wicket or super catch being taken Enthusiastic and committed game by participating teams kept the audiences glued to 'Funtoss' like any 'serious cricket tournament'.

Almost all teams were wearing their corporate colours with pride. Syntel won the Best Colour Coordinated Team prize with their bright red company t-shirts and blue jeans. A special mention needs to be made of the teams from TATA International - they have a small office in Pune - with hardly 10-12 people...so by entering in 2 teams and being the first company to confirm participation, they had 100% attendance at Funtoss!
