Bollywood gears up for the year’s most glittery Cricket league

Cricket, although not originated in India, enjoys a crazy fandom in the country. In fact, there are few countries that have as many fanatic followers as India does. Through ages, Cricket has gone through considerable evolution, but our love for our men in blue remains the same.

But then, 2008 saw a new chapter unfolding not just in Indian but also in international Cricket. Ardent followers would know what we are talking about. IPL was introduced to us by the Board Of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and remains the pioneer of franchise-based Cricket in India. The most unique trait of this tournament is that, it comes across as an attractive package of entertainment, thanks to its connection with glamour and showbiz. Hence, a non-Cricket fan has equal reasons to lend it a watch! Remember Bollywood stars dancing at their scintillating best at IPL opening ceremonies? In every other match, we would spot one or two of them, cheering for their favourite team from the gallery.

And if you’re someone who thoroughly enjoyed the blend of cricket and entertainment, we have a real good news for you. Twenty-twenty Cricket just got shorter, crisper and more enjoyable! But the fun didn’t lessen. The T10 Cricket League, a ten-overs Cricket tournament wherein ten regional teams would be battling out on the 22 yards, is set to appear for the very first time, in its most attractive form.

In fact, we can vouch for the fun that will be more than double! Over 100 performers and 20 celebrities will be delivering their best performance throughout the four days of the tournament. Not just that, end of each innings is going to be celebrated with a quick but colourful performance and the best of cheerleaders will be on their toes to mark each ball.

Bollywood geeks, be ready to go home with a selfie with your favourite B-Town star as everyday, five lucky winners will get to take selfies with the stars of their choice and are going to be featured on the on-ground big screen.

Oragnised by T Ten Sports Management FZE and UAE Emirates Cricket Board, the tournament kicks off soon.

Sports, selfies, stardom. Could it get any better?
