It's cricket, not athletics that would be bringing sprint sensation and multiple Olympic gold medallist Usain Bolt on his maiden trip to India next month.

The Jamaican star will be here in Bangalore, Sep 2, to play a charity cricket match, organised by PUMA, with India discard Yuvraj Singh here at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. Both Bolt and Yuvraj are brand ambassadors of PUMA.

"Puma brings Usain Bolt down for a one-of-a-kind cricket face-off between two sporting legends. For the first time ever, watch the Fastest Man on Earth -- Usain Bolt, challenge Yuvraj Singh to an exclusive cricket showdown at Chinnaswamy Stadium on September 2," said a media statement by PUMA here Tuesday.
