The return of the KFC Big Bucket was a result of the fans taking the opportunity to enjoy a game of cricket in the best seats in the oval while enjoying their favourite KFC treats and sharing such unforgettable moments with friends and family. This once in a lifetime opportunity was awarded to fans that entered a social media competition and were randomly selected to be part of the fun that was in the KFC Big Bucket.

These included Lungi Ngidi, Kagiso Rabada and JP Duminy as well as Thomas Msengana, Siv Ngesi Kerry McGregor and Mapaseka Koetle-Nyokeng.
